This is a historical experience provided by the Doctor Susan Anderson Chapter, NSDAR.

This cache is devoted to the Doctor Susan Anderson Chapter, NSDAR and their goal to promote literacy within the Arvada community. With City approval in April 2016, the Doctor Susan Anderson Chapter placed the Little Free Library along the Little Dry Creek Trail. The library was constructed from upcycled materials and built to replicate the home of the Chapter’s namesake, Doctor Susan Anderson of Fraser CO.

Doctor Susan Anderson was born in 1870. She graduated with a medical degree from the medical school in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In 1907 she moved to Fraser, where she thought the high mountain air could improve her health. 'Doc Susie', as the local folks called her, treated people in several towns along the railway. She delivered babies, cared for the sick, treated injuries of the ranchers, farmers, railway and tunnel workers, logging men, and sometimes even animals! She cared for people during the major influenza epidemic of 1918. In 1926 she became the Coroner of Grand County. As a professional, she inspired young girls to pursue lives beyond the drudgery of most women of that era. The story of her life is an inspiration.

Good cache but was covered in cobwebs and had a couple spiders in it that I didn't notice at first but besides that it was a good spot and cache.

A new container has been placed and weighted down to help with stand the high winds that blow through this area. Be sure to stop by and get a bookmark to use in a book from the little free library! Enjoy the cache!

Unfortunately, this cache has disappeared. It seems that the ammo box and swag were too irresistible. The Doctor Susan Anderson Chapter, NSDAR will do it's best to replace this cache as soon as possible. Please enjoy the Little Free Library as you wait :)
