outing . We ended up going to the President Calvin Coolidge Historic site in Plymouth . At the time , their holiday festival was in full swing . When we got there , we arrived to a picturesque Vermont winter scene . There were big , fluffy snowflakes coming down out of the sky . It was like something out of a movie ! We fell in love with the Calvin Coolidge site . They had different interactive stations that were perfect for kids , and my two boys were fascinated by the history of the village . The tour guide really brought it to life in an amazing way . After we left , we unexpectedly stopped by the Original General Store in Pittsfield . The great thing about 251 Club of Vermont Adventures is that you end up going to places you never expected and enjoy unforgettable experiences along the way .”
