It was located in the town of Fifield near Coolidge Lake, 8 miles (13 km) north of Phillips.

[3] When Boyington and Atwell of Stevens Point built their sawmill at the site known as Fifield, Coolidge had a population of 500.

[3] According to Fifield: A History, by Douglas Severt, all that is left of Coolidge today is a pile of stone in the clearing that was once the company's vault.

William Ehmke was born at Coolidge, and later became section boss on the Wisconsin Central, as was his father before him.
