The Coolidge Homestead, 1976. The Coolidge Homestead was the childhood home of the thirtieth President of the United States, Calvin Coolidge. Located in Plymouth Notch, Vermont, Coolidge lived there from age four in 1876 to 1887, when he departed for Black River Academy for education. The home, itself, was bought by his father, John Coolidge, who expanded the home from a simple one and a half story farm house to its present size and appearance today. Despite living most of his life in Northampton, Massachusetts, Coolidge often returned to the homestead to visit his family and was staying there when President Warren G. Harding, died. Coolidge was sworn in by his father in the family parlor after taking the Oath of Office for the presidency. Due to his father's refusal to modernize the house, the house remains to this day in the same condition, and in some cases, the same furnishings, as it was the night Coolidge took the oath. Today, the Coolidge Homestead is part of the Calvin Coolidge State Historical Site overseen by the state of Vermont. The President of the United States of America is the head of state and head of government of the United States. ...
