THE ROARING 20'S FEATURING CALVIN AND GRACE COOLIDGE presented by Cynthia D. Bittinger.

THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 2017 AT 1:30 PM to 3 PM, THE CATAMOUNT ARTS, EASTERN AVE. ST. JOHNSBURY

After World War I, the American public was ready for a change. Women wanted to express themselves, and even vote! The stock market was soaring and many wanted to ride its roller coaster. Into this world of the 20's were thrust the Coolidges from Vermont after the wild, flying Hardings from Ohio. The Whitehouse was to be changed from a speakeasy to a New England parlor. What did the Coolidges do ? How were they received? Join us to look at the history of this era and this Vermont couple to appreciate their contributions to American history.
