Description

The nature and poetry trail starts from behind the parking lot and loops through the field and forest that inspired some of Robert Frost's most famous poems. Along the way there are fourteen signs with poems pointing out important points of interest. The trail is relatively flat, but roots and rocks may cause tripping hazards along the way. 

Other Information

The Robert Frost Farm Historic Site was home to Robert Frost and his family in the early 1900's. Tours of the house are available seasonally. Book a tour online.

Although the use of the trail is free, there is a fee of admission to the house.
