THE FROST PLACE MUSEUM OPENS FOR 2018 SEASON

The Frost Place Museum opens for the 2018 season on Saturday, May 26, at 1 pm. Located at 158 Ridge Road in Franconia, The Frost Place is committed to honoring the legacy of Robert Frost while encouraging the creation and appreciation of poems.

The museum will be open Saturday, Sunday, and Monday of Memorial Day Weekend from 1 - 5 pm. It will then be open Thursday - Sunday through June, 1 - 5 pm. Starting July 1, the museum will be open daily 1 - 5 pm, closed Tuesdays. Extended fall foliage hours begin in September.

The Frost Place offers a self-directed tour of poet Robert Frost’s former home. The museum allows visitors to tour the rooms where Frost lived and wrote and features rare signed first editions of his work and family photographs. The Henry Holt Barn at The Frost Place now serves as a gift shop and poetry venue where visitors can enjoy a 20-minute video scripted by Frost’s great-grandson. There is also a quarter-mile Poetry Nature Trail on the property, which winds through Frost’s woods and features Frost’s poems on plaques throughout. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, The Frost Place stands in a beautiful location overlooking the White Mountains, a view that Frost savored and can now be appreciated by visitors from all around.  In addition, The Frost Place offers three annual summer poetry programs, two annual poetry competitions, a free poetry reading series, poetry craft talks, workshops open to the public, as well as other community programming and poetry education.
