This past Saturday The Vermont Division for Historic Preservation hosted “Plymouth Old Home Day” at the President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site. This event brings together town organizations in a fun-filled festival of traditional craft and farm demonstrations, wagon rides, country cuisine, and activities for the entire family.

Children’s activities included “Clara’s Games” featuring old-time games organized by the Vermont Historical Society; “create your own” pressed flower cards with Ellen Denton; and Hands-on History discoveries at the one room schoolhouse.

Also during the day, there were wagon rides and sheep shearing with Fred DePaul; a barbecue to benefit the Plymouth VFD; home-style cooking at the Wilder House Restaurant; cheese making and wine tasting at the Plymouth Cheese Factory; old time fiddler Adam Boyce; Vermont artisans & special exhibits: Fiber Arts in Vermont (showcasing their latest project – a reproduction of a Coolidge family wool blanket), paper quilling, silhouettes and fancy paper cutting, spinning, Vermont State Parks, vintage automobiles on display, and more!
