Plymouth (Vermont)
Plymouth is a town in Central Vermont. Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States, was born, raised, and buried here. The historic district designated as "Plymouth Notch" is virtually unchanged since the early 20th century. Most of the buildings were carefully preserved following Coolidge's ascent to Presidency and many still have their original furnishing.
