Kennedy Library and Presidential Museum, the Commonwealth Museum and Massachusetts State Archives, and the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate.
Franklin County - Massachusetts - New England
Franklin County is the most rural county in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and it shows! Farms, fields and valleys surround the historic villages and bustling towns. There is so much to do here - in our fine museums, educational institutions and cultural centers - but most of all, the great outdoors! Follow a back road, through a covered bridge, up into the hills and down again. Cruise the Connecticut River, ride the rapids of the Deerfield River between the green walls of Zoar gap.
Listen to the blues in a bookstore cafe, once an 1830's mill, or chamber music in a tiny rural church. Find a local swimming hole ... and spend a night or two at a hilltop farm, in a gracious mansion or 18th century homestead, in villages that have changed little since the 19th century.

Boston is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. Boston also served as the county seat of Suffolk County until Massachusetts disbanded most county governments by 2000. The city proper covers 48 square miles (124 km2) with an estimated population of 667,137 in 2015, making it the largest city in New England and the 23rd largest city in the United States. The city is the economic and cultural anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area called Greater Boston, home to 4.7 million people and the tenth-largest metropolitan statistical area in the country. Greater Boston as a commuting region is home to 8.1 million people, making it the sixth-largest combined statistical area in the United States.
One of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston was founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England. It was the scene of several key events of the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston. Upon U.S. independence from Great Britain, the city continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub, as well as a center for education and culture. Through land reclamation and municipal annexation, Boston has expanded beyond the original peninsula. Its rich history attracts many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone drawing over 20 million visitors per year. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public school, Boston Latin School (1635), first subway system (1897), and first public park (1634).

Boston's economic base also includes finance, professional and business services, biotechnology, information technology, and government activities. Households in the city claim the highest average rate of philanthropy in the United States; businesses and institutions rank among the top in the country for environmental sustainability and investment. The city has one of the highest costs of living in the United States, though it remains high on world livability rankings.

Boston's Neighborhoods : The Back Bay
- Beginning in 1857 and continuing until 1880, Boston's Back Bay neighborhood was created entirely by man. The body of water separating Boston from Brookline was filled, adding 450 acres of land to the city of Boston. Today it stands as one of the Boston's premiere neighborhoods. Marked by historic and exclusive boulevards, such as Newbury Street and Commonwealth Avenue , the Back Bay is home to the northern portion of the city's Emerald Necklace, the green space that threads its way through the inner core of the city.
The Back Bay is one of the busiest retail sections of Boston, with a thriving commercial center along Boylston Street and Newbury Street, which include the nearby enclosed shopping malls at the Shops at Prudential Center and Copley Place
The Back Bay's borders are encompassed by the Charles River, Massachusetts Avenue, and the Boston Public Garden. Known for its exclusive real estate, abundance of spas, high end retail stores, art galleries, cafes and architecturally significant brownstones, Back Bay is also one of the prettiest neighborhoods in the entire country. The residential streets of Back Bay are some of the best preserved examples of late 19th century urban architecture in the entire country.
Grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants or outdoor cafes lining Newbury Street. Day and night, summers bring crowded patios and leisurely lunches and dinners al fresco, with some of the best people watching vantage points in town. Some of America's top retail stores and art galleries dot Newbury Street from Arlington Street down to Massachusetts Avenue.
There is plenty of green space in the Back Bay. Stroll down the Commonwealth Avenue Mall to view the blocks and blocks of brownstones, statues and memorials and residents walking their beautiful dogs. The mall connects the Public Garden to the Fens.
Created in 1837, the Boston Public Garden is one of Boston's great attractions and America's first botanical garden. Admire the rich and unusual plantings, over 80 species are cultivated for future plantings, the Lagoon, monuments and fountains. And of course, the Swan Boats on the lagoon, which has operated for over 100 years.
The Charles River Esplanade is home to the famous Hatch Shell and it's regular summertime concerts, including the annual Fourth of July celebration with the Boston Pops. The bike path runs 23 miles along the banks of the Charles River.
Community Boating is the oldest continuously operating community sailing program in the United States. Offering sailing and windsurfing instruction, members are allowed to use their Cape Cod Mercury boats on the Charles River.
Copley Square is anchored by the Fairmount Copley Plaza Hotel, The Boston Public Library, a leading example of Beaux-Arts architecture in the US, The Old South Church, and The 60 story dark blue glass John Hancock Tower.
And of course, there's Trinity Church, founded in 1733, designed by Henry Hobson Richardson. Trinity Churchg is the only building in Boston that has been honored as one of the Ten Most Significant Buildings in the United States by the American Institute of Architects.
The First Church of Christ, Scientist is The Mother Church and headquarters of the Christian Science Church. Designed by famed architect I.M. Pei, the 14 acre plaza includes a reflecting pool and fountain that makes it one of Boston's most visually recognizable sites.
Some of Boston's finest museums are located in the Back Bay. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is modeled after the Renaissance palaces of Venice, Italy. The building surrounds a glass covered garden courtyard, the first of its kind in America. The Museum of Fine Arts is one of the largest museums in the United States, and offers one of the most comprehensive art collections in the Americas.
Symphony Hall was built in 1900 for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and is considered, acoustically, one of the top three concert halls in the world. It is also home to the famous Boston Pops Orchestra & the Handel and Hayden Society.
The Back Bay offers some of Boston's premier real estate. From the early Victorian Houses on Commonwealth Avenue, dating back to around 1860, to townhouse condominiums, prewar buildings and some of the newer, full services buildings such as the Four Seasons Place, The Heritage and LeJardin, One Charles, and the Carlton House Residences, all located on the Public Garden. Located near the Prudential Center, The Mandarin Oriental and Belvedere Residences are centrally located in the heart of Back Bay. The Clarendon, across from the Hancock Tower and Trinity Place, overlooking Copley Square also offer prime locations and luxurious amenities.

Forbes Library Coolidge Museum Video
Welcome to the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library and Museum at Forbes Library. Forbes is the public library for the City of Northampton, Massachusetts and located at 20 West Street. There is a large metered parking lot behind the building. Handicapped parking is on the exit side of the driveway and the building is fully accessible. Once inside, the Coolidge Museum is located on the second floor of the Forbes Library.
The Forbes Library is named for Charles Forbes, a lawyer and judge whose bequest built the public library which opened in 1894. Calvin Coolidge was a card holder and patron of Judge Forbes's personal collection while studying law. That early use and love for this library led him to donate materials here for public use.
The Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library & Museum at Forbes Library was established in 1920 with gifts from the Northampton Republican Committee and Governor and Vice-Presidential nominee, Calvin Coolidge and items collected by Forbes Librarian Joseph Harrison. As Vice-President and President, Coolidge and Harrison continued to add items to the growing collection. Upon leaving the White House, 3 Army trucks of items, including his personal library of books, the electric horse and the Howard Chandler Christy portraits were sent directly to Forbes Library. The current Museum space was created in 1955-1956 when, acting upon the request of Grace Coolidge and the Trustees of Forbes Library, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts granted funds to establish a Calvin Coolidge Memorial Room as a separate entity within the library. Today, Forbes Library is the largest source of primary material on Calvin Coolidge.
The collections include speeches, correspondence, scrapbooks, photographs, political cartoons, paintings, memorabilia, political gifts and personal papers and books. It also has a copy of the 190 reels of microfilm of the Coolidge Collection at the Library of Congress. The collections represent Coolidge as Northampton Alderman and Mayor; Massachusetts State Representative, state Senator, Lieutenant Governor and Governor; and the nation’s Vice-President and President. In addition to his political life, the personal life of Coolidge and his family from his child hood days in Plymouth Notch, Vermont until his wife’s death in Northampton are also represented throughout the collections.
Calvin Coolidge was born July 4th 1872 on a farm in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. His father was a farmer, businessman and involved in local and state politics. Calvin came to Massachusetts to attend Amherst College, graduating in 1895. He moved to Northampton to read and study law in the firm of Hammond and Field and passed the bar exam in 1897. He opened his own law practice at 25 Main Street, Northampton in 1898.
The Museum features permanent and temporary exhibits. Here are a few highlights of artifacts you will see:
Presidential Portraits of Calvin Coolidge and First Lady Grace Coolidge painted by Howard Chandler Christy in 1924.
Also from 1924, an Electric Exercise horse gifted to President Coolidge by a friend.
In 1927 the Summer White House was in Black Hills, South Dakota and the President was presented this headdress and made an honorary chief by the Sioux Nation. Here are other items gifted to the First Family that summer including peace pipes, pipe bags and moccasins.
Exhibits also include Coolidge’s time in local and state politics. Documents, scrapbooks, photographs and artifacts from his local, state and federal career and family life are available for research. Staff and volunteers also make local classroom visits and speak to community groups.
We hope you visit us in Northampton or online to learn more about Calvin Coolidge.
