Vermont - Day 2

More of Vermont to explore. Our first stop of the day  was at the Long Trail Brewing Company in Bridgewater Corners, VT. We toured the brewery (like most others) and sampled some of their beers. Fortunately, we got a late start so it was afternoon before we sipped the beer (after all, it's 5 o'clock somewhere).

Then we happened upon the Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site in Plymouth Notch, VT. We visited the house where he was born and the house where he was sworn in as President after the unexpected death of President Harding. In case you didn't know, he was sworn in by his father, a notary public, at 2:47 a.m. on August 3, 1923. To keep the blog tradition going, here is another picture of Susan with a dead President.

From there, we went to Weston, VT to see the Vermont Country Store. This place is a lot like the Mast General Store in Valle Cruces, NC. They have all kinds of products from the past for sale like Buster Brown shoes, Tinkertoys, Bosco chocolate, plus various household gadgets you don't normally see in stores any more like bread boxes and pants stretchers. A very unique store indeed.
