Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Dr. Laura Plantz House

This c. 1900 house was built for Dr. Laura Plantz (1829-1923), the first female medical practitioner in Vermont, Minnesota, and Michigan.

Dr. Plantz graduated from Pennsylvania Medical University of Philadelphia. She specialized in womens diseases and was superintendent of the Home of the Friendless in New York.

In 1950, Norman Mailer briefly lived here while completing his second novel, Barbary Shore.

Windham College renovated the house to serve as Currier Hall, dormitory, classrooms, and infirmary, while the barn was a dining hall and bookstore.

In 2014, Windham & Windsor Housing Trust purchased the building and rehabilitated it to create housing opportunities for area citizens.
