The Calvin Coolidge House is a historic house that was home to Calvin Coolidge between 1906 and 1930. This period of occupancy coincides with Coolidge's political rise from city council to Governor of Massachusetts, then Vice President and President. The house, built in 1900-1901, is a fairly typical residential house of the time, and is not architecturally distinguished. In 1930, Coolidge moved to "The Beeches" in Northampton. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
The Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library and Museum is the presidential library of Calvin Coolidge. Coolidge practiced law and served as mayor in Northampton. The Coolidge Library began in 1920 when Coolidge began donating various records and memorabilia to the Forbes Library. This collection was furthered in 1956 when the Commonwealth of Massachusetts established the Calvin Coolidge Memorial Room at the behest of Grace Coolidge.
