The Calvin Coolidge Memorial Foundation, Inc was established in 1960 by a group of Coolidge enthusiasts including John Coolidge, the son of President, and Mrs. Coolidge; Franklin S. Billings, Jr., Chief Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court; Edward Connery Lathem, Dartmouth College Librarian and Dean of the Libraries and distinguished author; Vrest Orton; Consuelo Northrup Bailey; Deane C. Davis; and other such luminaries of the period. The Foundation was formed in part to redress the fact that there is no federally funded presidential library for Calvin Coolidge, our 30th U.S. President. John F. Kennedy, Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Herbert Hoover, and Jacqueline B. Kennedy are among the many Sponsors and National Advisory Board members over the last 50 years.

The Foundation preserves President Coolidge's legacy and provides primary and interpretive information to teachers and students, scholars, the media, and the general public by request and via the Foundation’s website

.The Coolidge Foundation owns and maintains its offices in the President Calvin Coolidge Museum and Education Center at the Coolidge Historic Site, PO Box 97, Plymouth, Vermont, 05056.
