Old Home Day, a New England tradition dating back to the turn of the century, is all about appreciating the value of "place," and it's a celebration of a town's citizenry past, present, and future. Plymouth Old Home Day, to be held August 6, 2022 at the Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site, welcomes you to step back in time with a re-enactment of the Presidential Oath of Office administered to then Vice President Calvin Coolidge, guided village tours including Coolidge's birthplace and boyhood home, and demonstrations of period trades and pastimes. Come learn about sheepshearing, straw hat braiding, spinning, and so much more. Don't forget to set aside some time to pop into the Plymouth Artisan Cheese Factory.

The Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation invites the public to join the Coolidge cousins for two programs. The first, to be held in the church at 10:00 a.m., is a panel presentation entitled "Cottenham to Watertown and Beyond" about the journey of the Coolidge family from England to Massachusetts. The second is a "Spirits of the Notch" ghostly encounter to be held in the Plymouth Notch cemetery at 3:30. Costumed actors portraying Coolidge family members and Achsa Sprague, a renown spiritualist of the 1850s, will share the stories of their historic lives in Plymouth.

This family friendly event is sure to work up an appetite, so be sure to stop by the Plymouth Volunteer Fire Department's onsite Chicken BBQ lunch or bring a picnic lunch for a relaxing break at the picnic tables.

Admission tickets are required for touring the historic village and can be purchased on the day at the Museum and Education Center. Adults are $10.00 and Children up to 15 are $2.00. A family rate of $25.00 is also available. See you there!
