Former home of poet Robert Frost and family (1915 - ?).
A collection of signed first editions of Frost’s works and other memorabilia from his stay and a nature trail with plaques displaying poems written during the poet’s Franconia years.
The Frost Place features summer conferences and school programs, and each summer an emerging poet is awarded a fellowship with a cash stipend and an invitation to live and write in Frost’s former home for the months of July and August.
SPECIAL NOTE: This is NOT the Frost summer home which made national news in late 2007 when it was vandalized during an under-age drinking party. That was in Ripton, Vermont.
