Calvin Coolidge Memorial Foundation • www.calvin-coolidge.org • 802.672.3389 1 Our Programs The Calvin Coolidge Memorial Foundation seeks to pro- mote a nonpartisan events agenda as part of its effort to be a Center for Civic Education, encompassing a Coolidge Class- room and Institute, both of which strive to make the ideals of our 30th President relevant to people today. The Coolidge Classroom is the learning environment encompassing the President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site, with its Museum & Education Center, where our offices are located. The programs and events held here in Plymouth Notch ap- peal to audiences of every age and ability, and span the birth, boyhood, and final resting place of Calvin Coolidge. Thanks to a close collaboration with the State of Vermont’s Division for Historic Preservation, visitors can get a firsthand look at the conditions and setting that formed Coolidge’s earli- est memories, ideals and values, culminating in the majestic austerity of his simple grave in the town cemetery.

We were also very glad to host a Gala Event at Plymouth Notch featuring guest speaker Steve Forbes, Chairman and CEO of Forbes Media, and former presidential candidate in 1996 and 2000. Mr. Forbes spoke on how the fiscal policies of Calvin Coolidge can relate to our present day. In about one hour’s time, he gave us what amounted to a seminar on free market economics. Though few of our speakers’ presen- tations were devoid of political commentary, all contributed mightily to the overall public policy discussion in a man- ner worthy of Calvin Coolidge, whose simplicity, directness, honesty and integrity were hallmarks of his character and pronouncements. Mr. Forbes received the Coolidge Award, given annually to a public figure who ably demonstrates the ideals that actuated President Coolidge.

  • 30 Amazing Facts You Never Knew About US
    30 Amazing Facts You Never Knew About U.S. Presidents bestlifeonline.com/us-president-facts By Matt Alderton February 7, 2020 February 7, 2020 Alamy George Washington was a commander during the Revolutionary War. Abraham Lincoln was tall. Franklin D. Roosevelt had polio. John F. Kennedy was the first Catholic president. Richard Nixon resigned from office. Bill Clinton liked fast food. And Barack Obama had a dog named Bo while in office. These are just a few of the facts about U.S. presidents that you've probably heard before. For every nugget of presidential history that you've already mined, however, there is a treasure trove of trivia tidbits waiting to be discovered. After all, presidents aren't just America's most powerful leaders; as it turns out, they're also some of its most interesting characters. In honor of Presidents' Day, here are 30 fascinating facts you probably never knew about U.S. presidents. 1 George Washington was a redhead. 1/42 Shutterstock George Washington's lionized locks are universally recognized thanks to his place on the dollar bill. What's far less common knowledge, however, is that they were neither fake nor white, as they appear to be in portraits. While it's true that wigs were popular in Washington's day, America's first president preferred his natural hair, which he kept long 2/42 and wore tied back in a ponytail. Because he still wanted to appear fashionable, however, Washington—a redhead—powdered his hair so that it matched his contemporaries' white wigs. 2 John Adams was the first president to live in the White House.

  • Autobiography-Of-Calvin-Coolidge
    The History Public Schools Don’t Teach James Madison wrote that “a people who mean to be their own governors must be armed with the power that knowledge gives”. In “Democracy in America” Alexis de Tocqueville noted that Americans of his day were far more knowledgeable about government and the issues of the day than their counterparts in Europe. Tocqueville wrote “every citizen receives the elementary notions of human knowledge; he is taught, moreover, the doctrines and the evidences of his religion, the history of his country, and the leading features of its Constitution”. The founders knew that only an educated populace, jealous of their rights, would be strong enough to resist the usurpation of their liberties by government. Today many people know nothing of our true history, or the source of our rights. The mission of The Federalist Project is to get people the history public schools don’t teach to motivate them to push back at the erosion of our liberties and restore constitutionally limited small government. What we do: Use social media to better educate Americans on: Our true American History, and what the public schools left out. What History tells us about current events.

We are in Roseland, New Jersey at the offices of Carella Byrne. We’re in Governor Byrne’s personal office here; for our final interview with the Governor in this series that we started five years ago back in 2006, we’re going to talk about the end of the Byrne years, and what has the Governor focused on after leaving the Governor’s office. Before we get to the end of things, you wanted to tell a story about Jimmy Carter; go ahead. Brendan Byrne: I was very close to Carter, first Governor to support him. Now he gets elected. My great ambition is to play tennis on the White House tennis court. So now I figure I got the President is one of my best friends, I’m going to play tennis; never got the invitation to play tennis. The story I heard, and it’s probably not true, but the story I heard was that Jimmy Carter took tennis lessons from a man by the name of Frank Brennan who had also taught Billie Jean King and was from New Jersey. The story is that Carter asked Frank Brennan, did you ever see Brendan Byrne play tennis? And Brennan says, “Yes.” Carter says, “Do you think I could beat him?” And Brennan says, “No.” So I never got the invitation.
