EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quintessential American scene of the Calvin Coolidge Church and School in Plymouth, Vermont, where the future 30th President of the United States and his family once attended services and classes. Dating back to the 1870s, the church and school, with their distinct New England architecture, have stood the test of time, serving as a testament to the community's rich history. Calvin Coolidge, born on August 7, 1872, in Plymouth, Vermont, grew up in this close-knit town, where his father was a storekeeper and his mother was a schoolteacher. The values instilled in him during his formative years, including a strong work ethic and commitment to education, would later serve him well in his political career. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, shows the red brick church and white schoolhouse standing proudly against a clear blue sky, with American flags flying high. Children in their Sunday best can be seen playing on the church lawn, while adults gather around the schoolhouse, likely preparing for an event or discussion. The scene exudes a sense of community and tradition, reflecting the values that shaped Calvin Coolidge's upbringing and, ultimately, his presidency. Calvin Coolidge's time at the Plymouth Church and School marked the beginning of a remarkable political journey that would take him from the Vermont State House to the White House, where he served from 1925 to 1929. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the humble beginnings of an American icon and the enduring power of education and community.
