11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Winter is ready to fall upon the quiet village of Plymouth Notch. Before the snows deepen, join the residents of the village as they celebrate the holiday season. The Coolidge birthplace will be festooned with fresh greenery as it would have been during Christmastime in Calvin Coolidge’s childhood. The greenery continues throughout the village where wreaths don the doors of the homes. Throughout the day, free cookies and cocoa will be served in the Museum and Education Center and visitors can make a holiday decor craft.
The day's activities will kick off at 11:30 a.m. with a ukulele concert in the Grace Coolidge Great Room in the museum. At 12:45 p.m. a tree lighting ceremony in the Wilder Barn will call into remembrance the moment President Coolidge threw the switch on the very first electrified National tree in 1923. Immediately following, the warmth of the village’s Union Christian Church will beckon visitors for a time of caroling as Mr. Bill Wiles leads a rousing time of caroling. Admission to this event is free.
