Plymouth
Spend a half‑day visiting the Coolidge historic sites; add a night at a mountain resort if you want a quiet stay.
Plymouth is a tiny town (pop. ≈ 640) centered on the Calvin Coolidge historic district. The main sights are within walking distance, so a half‑day covers the museums and the homestead. Overnight is optional for the resort‑style lodging and mountain scenery.
