On this episode of Our American Stories, born on the Fourth of July in the tiny village of Plymouth Notch, Vermont, Calvin Coolidge grew up surrounded by hardworking neighbors who prized honesty, humility, thrift, and service above wealth or status. Those lessons stayed with him from the family store to the governor's office, and ultimately to the White House.

Matthew Denhart of the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation, along with acclaimed Coolidge interpreter Tracy Messer, reading from Coolidge's autobiography, share the remarkable story of America's 30th president, from his rural upbringing and dramatic midnight swearing-in by his father to the principles that shaped one of the most distinctive presidencies in American history.
