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. 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 the Coolidge's legacy, and provides primary and interpretive information through a Website 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.

Citizenship Throughout Vermont’s History
Vermont’s Secretary of State Deborah Markowitz is the keynote speaker at the Calvin Coolidge Memorial Foundation’s Union Church on October 23, 2009. In her address, “The Citizen in the Community: Roles, Responsibility, and Action” she describes the similarities between citizenship and neighborliness; and that Vermont’s Constitution includes the banning of slavery, the establishment of public schools, and voting rights even if men do not own property.
