SHAFTSBURY, Vt. — One morning in 1922, Robert Frost sat down at his dining room table in southern Vermont and wrote “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” one of his most famous poems.
That house is now open again as a museum under the ownership of Bennington College.
On display are photographs, a facsimile of the manuscript and Frost quotations painted on some walls. Those quotes include his epitaph, “I had a lover’s quarrel with the world,” from his tombstone in nearby Bennington.
Frost’s poetry was enormously popular in 20th century America.
The grounds of Frost’s former home are spotted with craggy old stone walls, a barn and a few of Frost’s heirloom apple trees, all subjects of his poetry.
The Robert Frost Stone House Museum is in Shaftsbury, Vt.
