Home at Last, March 5, 1929

The Coolidges pictured as they return home to their home at 21 Massasoit Street, Northampton, after stepping off the train from Washington. Mr. Coolidge would return only once more to the capital city that summer to participate in the Kellogg Treaty ceremonies. However, they were both ready to be finished with public office.

Filling out his National Press Club membership card around this time, under “Occupation” he penned an emphatic “Retired” adding even more emphatically “Glad of it!” It was time to return to the people from which they had come, voluntarily laying down the Nation’s leadership to others. It was time to be home.

“A Birthday Tribute to Grace Goodhue Coolidge”

A Birthday Tribute to Grace Goodhue Coolidge

Dr. Fran Becque, leading fan of Mrs. Coolidge and fraternity historian, has offered a fine tribute to one of the most gracious and beloved First Ladies (or the “National Hugger,” as she once laughingly called herself) ever to occupy the White House. Today marks the 134th Anniversary of her birth in Burlington, Vermont, to Andrew and Lemira Goodhue. Even to those of us who know her only from a distance in time and place, we love and miss her greatly. Happy Birthday, Mrs. Coolidge!
