Ask a questionAbout Heidi Kaufmann
My nickname is Heidi. I grew up in Sudbury, Massachusetts. I became a cultural historian with a focus on medieval Europe, particulary Germany, and completed my Ph.D. at Columbia University. I lived and taught for many years in various European countries. In retirement I came to Maine, which I love in all seasons. But I am also pulled to Brooklyn, NY, where my daughter, son-in-law and grandsons live. My toddler grandson is the light of my life.
Heidi Kaufmann purchased this house in 2005
