Enjoy Fall Foliage, Vermont History and Our Fall Festival
Maple trees stand tall throughout the famed hills of Plymouth Notch, Vermont, where fall foliage traditionally reaches peak colors in the first week of October. Fall at the Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site is a time to bask in the natural beauty of crisp autumn days.
Plymouth Notch is the hometown of the 30th US President, Calvin Coolidge, and the state historic site portrays the president’s idyllic youth in this rural Vermont community. It’s the perfect place for families to learn about 1920s American history while enjoying warm sunny rays before inevitable snow drives them indoors. Set against the backdrop of vibrant orange and red maple leaves, the historic village, comprised of a schoolhouse, church, store, barns, and several homes, are also a photographer’s paradise.
A special Fall Festival will occur at the Coolidge site on Saturday, October 4 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Visitors are invited to witness cider pressings, sample a variety of heritage apples, take a wagon ride, play croquet, and pet sheep. These family-friendly activities are included in a general admission ticket ($12 for adults or $30 for a family pass). When lunch time rolls around, the Plymouth Fire Department will be serving Chicken BBQ diners for their annual fundraiser.
