The historic village of Plymouth Notch celebrates the 151st birthday of President Calvin Coolidge and the 247th birthday of the United States.
The party kicks off at 11:30 a.m. with an adjudicated baking contest. Members of the public are invited to enter their version of Grace Coolidge’s Icebox Cookies to be tasted by members of the Coolidge family.
At noon, a processional led the Vermont National Guard will depart from the village to the cemetery for the laying of a wreath at the President’s grave. Cake will be served immediately following the cemetery ceremony.
Throughout the day the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation will be hosting the Coolidge Cup, a national speech and debate competition.
