A unique educational experience awaits, connecting students with the life, work, and environment of one of America’s most beloved poets. Groups can learn about Frost’s creative process, explore his writing environment, and experience a direct connection between his poetry and Vermont’s landscape. Frost lived in the house from 1920 to 1929, where he wrote iconic works, including Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.
During field trips, students can explore Frost’s personal letters, drafts, and artifacts, which reveal his creative methods and personal life. The museum also offers access to an orchard and grounds that inspired many of Frost’s poems. Programs emphasize the intersection of literature, history, and environmental conservation, encouraging students to draw connections between the landscape and Frost’s poetry. For hands-on learning, the museum integrates activities focused on creative writing, ecology, and history, aligned with school curriculum goals.
The museum also plays a role in broader experiential learning, incorporating partnerships with Bennington College for projects in literature, museum studies, and environmental education. Group visits can be tailored to different age levels, with discounts available for student groups, ensuring an accessible and enriching experience throughout the year. From May to October, the museum offers regular hours, and during the off-season, appointments can be made for educational visits.
