This majestic 17 room Plymouth farmhouse was built in 1868/1869 by James Smith Brown, this author's great great great grandfather. James and "Maria" farmed for their whole lives and sent many products all over, including Boston. This farmhouse is now owned by the state of Vermont. It is well-cared for and sits on the corner of route 100A and the road to the Coolidge Homestead. Unfortunately it is not open to the public.

Polly "Maria" Taylor Brown & James Smith Brown Homestead in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. Built in 1868/1869. Maria (seated far left in chair) helped to deliver Calvin Coolidge on July 4, 1872. Old Plymouth farm families were very close. Maria and James had 8 children and Maria was looked upon as "a natural nurse." She was known to have a ready sympathy for those in trouble.
