It’s not everyday that a U.S. president gets to take the oath of office in his childhood home. Yet when President Warren G. Harding died, that’s what Calvin Coolidge, his vice president, did. The modest frame and clapboard house is located in the tiny community of Plymouth Notch, Vermont, all or most of which is included in the Calvin Coolidge Homestead District, a National Historic Landmark. Like a time capsule, the district remains largely unchanged and includes not only the Coolidge home but also the homes of neighbors as well as the town church, a cheese factory, a schoolhouse and a general store. Coolidge and his wife are buried along with seven generations of the family in the town cemetery.
