President Calvin Coolidge's Grave Site

The serenity of the village and surrounding mountains is appropriately reflected in the simple granite headstone that marks the President’s grave. Visitors are sometimes surprised that a President should be buried in such plain surroundings, but when Coolidge left the White House, he said, “We draw our Presidents from the people…I came from them.” 

Beyond the Brown House and across Route 100A (16 on map) is the grave site of President Coolidge. Seven generations of Coolidge’s are buried here. Established before 1800, this steep hillside cemetery is under the care of the Plymouth Cemetery Commissioners who are elected at the annual Town Meeting.
