When he passed away, in January 1933, the Coolidge family, respecting his wishes, laid the president to rest in the Coolidge row in the modest cemetery at his birthplace, Plymouth Notch, Vermont. The tallest stone in the row is that of Coolidge’s grandfather, Calvin Galusha Coolidge. Coolidge’s own gravestone stands no higher than that of his wife, Grace. The only sign that the grave is a former president’s is the presidential seal chiseled into the granite.
