Robert Frost Farm

Come here before it’s too late. There are constantly attempts to commercialize the site by «investors» who claim Derry is not «business friendly» by not allowing them to open just another xyz in the vicinity of the Robert Frost Farm.
At some point majorities might tip and an investor, instead of finding a quiet and idyllic place themselves, settling there, writing prize winning poems, thus attracting the masses and THEN opening their beloved business there… Take a shortcut and make money on someone else’s achievements.

Firstly, the vandalism posted below was done to one of Frost’s homes in Vermont, this is not the place in the article. This premises is located directly on a main route, has many people frequent it and is frequented by police meeting up and searching for speeders. It is a safe place to be.
The indoor tour is something to do once and you’ll see all you need too. They don’t mention it if kids are around, but pull aside the guide and ask about Frost’s brother who hung himself here. The farmhouse also hosts speakers and poetry readings and slams throughout the open season and are fun to attend.
The outdoors section is a great place to exercise whether you run, jog, or just stroll casually. It’s dog friendly, just please pick it up! There are a few small bridges over a brook and plenty of quiet spots to explore. This is a birdwatchers paradise and I’ve also seen many animals here including red foxes. There are also fishers in the area. This has become my defacto place to go and be outdoors in the quiet and get a good workout in.

I live down the road. I never take the tour because I do not care, to be blatantly honest. I am a Robert Frost fan as well as a poetry fan in general. I know the works and the life of Robert Frost. I would like to tour the house at some point certainly though. I mostly just like walking around the grounds and there is a beautiful view if you walk for long enough. Some actually mystical trails that are amazing and beautiful. I can see why he chose the place to do his work.
My only complaint is that there is actually broken glass in the fields and on the trails where horses and dogs are walking. It’d be nice if they would take a little better care of the grounds as they do the house. And these are the trails right off the parking lot, not in the middle of the woods.

I drove a fair distance (from the Boston area) to take a tour of this place. When I first arrived, I was the only one there and the worker almost literally jumped on me. Rather than taking the opportunity to check out the exhibits in the barn (which serves as the visitor center and gift shop), I was subjected to his incessant banter. When other people arrived, he put on an introductory video (yes, VHS, believe it or not), and spent half as much time talking about it as the run time. Once the film got going, he talked through it, offering his own opinion on things.
The tour was just as I should have expected from this introduction to the site. By the time we started, the group had swelled to about a dozen or so. Most of the tour was about the tour guide and his experience at the farm and his views on the works of «Rob». The first room was the bathroom, where we spent about 10 minutes (yes, 10 minutes… in a bathroom). The tour was far too long, took way too many divergent side stories, and the gentleman leading it was arrogant and almost combative with guests. I’ll admit, the content of the tour wasn’t terrible (with the help of an editor), but the way it was presented was off-​putting. He also allowed anyone interested to handle the historic antiques in the house — which made me assume he didn’t care about his job or, at the very least, that there was no such thing as a curator at the house.
But, hey, it’s the Robert Frost Farm. This place is where poems like «After Apple-​Picking» and «Mending-​Wall» take place. He lived here for long enough that it kind of overpowers other Frost house museums. It’s a pleasant little place with a beautiful New England setting. There’s also free parking in back. If not for the guide there, it would have been a great experience.

Jack, my Rhodesian Ridgeback adn I love to stop here and walk the grounds of the Robert Frost Farm.
There is a big field and walking trails. Not a huge amount of land but enough for a small hike.
The farm house is open May– Oct and I have not been in it.
I have seen pleantly of old farm houses in VT.
The farm and land is well maintained by the State of New Hampshire.
Located on Rt 28 just south of Dollar Bill’s Discount Store and the Rt 28 Bypass.

I came here on December 8, 2007. The farm was closed but I was still able walk around the grounds, take pictures and take The Road Not Taken. Sorry, couldn’t resist that…
I think the farm should be open year-​round. That will discourage vandals and punks alike from trashing the place! Read story below about what some vandal recently did.
