Calvin Coolidge: The Boy Who Never Dreamed He’d Be President

Born in a small Vermont village, Calvin Coolidge never dreamed that he would one day become president of the United States. Historical interpreter Tracy W. Messer brings “Silent Cal” to life through his understated humor, personal observations, and reflections upon the presidents who preceded him. This special Newbury presentation also touches upon the presidential and literary connections linking Coolidge’s New England world with John Hay, Theodore Roosevelt, Rudyard Kipling, and the Lake Sunapee region.
