Robert Frost Farm State Historic Site

6/12/2021 For the last stop of the day, we went only a few minutes, still in Derry, to the Robert Frost Homestead NHL and SHS. This connected farm built in 1884 was the home of the poet from 1900 to 1911. Also only photos here, although there were many panels around with some of Frost’s poetry.
