Calvin Coolidge Memorial Foundation

ChurchSm

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. The Foundation preserves the Coolidge's legacy, and provides primary and interpretive information through this web site and by request, to teachers and students, scholars, the media and the general public. The Coolidge Foundation owns and maintains its offices in the 1840 Union Christian Church in Plymouth Notch, (Box 97) Vermont, 05056
