Homestead Inauguration Reenactment and Celebratory Moxies

The Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site, in collaboration with the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation, will reenact President Coolidge’s 1923 inauguration. This famed event took place suddenly, on August 3, 1923 at 2:47 a.m., following the death of President Warren G. Harding. Amateur actors will portray the story of the monumental moment that Vice President Coolidge became President Coolidge.

Following the reenactment, museum visitors are invited to enjoy celebratory moxie floats. Moxie soda was a favored beverage of President Coolidge. Typically found only in New England, this drink is “wickedly good” and “distinctly different.” A visit to the Coolidge site wouldn’t be complete without it.
