Calvin Coolidge died from heart-failure at his home in Northampton Massachusetts on January 5th 1933 aged 60. In keeping with his wishes there was no state funeral and the ceremonial was kept to a minimum. Following the funeral attended by President Hoover and family representatives of President-Elect Roosevelt, Coolidge was taken back to his native Vermont and laid to rest in the village cemetery of Plymouth Notch next to his beloved son Calvin Jr. who had died in 1924 aged 16 and near his father and mother. To date he is the last president to be buried in a public cemetery. (John Kennedy lies in Arlington which is a national cemetery with restrictions on who may be interred there. All other presidents since Mr. Coolidge have opted to be interred on the grounds of their presidential libraries. Mr. Coolidge was the last president not to have a library erected in his honor.)

It says his funeral was kept to a minimum...so just one week or two?

Your film is Tafts funeral, not Coolidge.

The left hates him; he was an advocate for liberty.

Warren Harding was great, too, and Coolidge benefitted from his policies and that of Treasury Secretary Mellon (who should’ve been Coolidge’s successor). Harding resolved the Wilson Recession in short order by cutting taxes and government. He is hated by leftist academia because he proved cutting both is the key to economic recovery, not taxing, spending and expanding government.

Link was to President Taft, who died the same year.

Yes, one of our great presidents, very much overlooked. While I was growing up the media and comedians turned him into something of a joke, who knows why. Even conservatives often overlook him.

I made a pilgrimage to Plymouth Notch on May 2, 2015. Wonderful experience.

I was there back in the 1990’s. I can’t believe that the same state that gave us Coolidge keeps electing Bernie Sanders.

The state that gave us Coolidge was overrun by people fleeing New York in the 1970s.

By 2024, Trump will be the greatest President since Coolidge.

In school they taught us that Coolidge had an uneventful, almost failed presidency. In reality he was a great limited government conservative and presided over one of the greatest US economies.
Coolidge complained during his presidency that Hoover was always giving him unsolicited advise and all of it wrong.

My mother, stepdad, stepgrandmom and I visited Coolidge's birthplace in the summer of 1983, on our way home to PA from staying with relatives in Nova Scotia. I went inside his (Congregationalist) church. His pew had a large Old Glory standing next to it in the outside aisle. If I had known Cal was buried there I would have visited it too. RIP Cal and thank you.
