How to celebrate 100 years since Vermont's Calvin Coolidge became president

Library of Congress

Just about 100 years ago, Vermonter Calvin Coolidge took the presidential oath of office in his childhood home in Plymouth Notch.

And this week, there's a slate of events planned to celebrate the centennial.

Festivities kick off at the President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site on Wednesday, with a tour of Coolidge's former home.

 Three windows let in light to a parlor with wallpaper, a table with chairs and a lamp.
