Robert Frost is one of America’s most well-known poets, writing about the beauty and harshness of nature and exploring what it meant to live in New England. He won four Pulitzer Prizes for his work and his legacy lives on today, almost 60 years after his death. For five years, he lived in a small house in New Hampshire, and fans can now explore the area around his property. 

The trail, known as Frost Place, is just a quarter-mile long, but shows visitors the landscape from which Frost drew much of his inspiration.
