Robert Frost Stone House Museum

In 2002, the non-profit organization, the Friends of Robert Frost purchased the home in a state of disrepair and restored the house, opening it to the public.

Frost purchased the Peleg Cole farm, also known as the Half Stone House, for his family in 1920 with the goal of becoming an apple farmer.

[2] At the time, Frost shared in a letter to a friend, "I have moved a good part of the way to a stone cottage on a hill at South Shaftsbury in southern Vermont on the New York side near the historic town of Bennington where if I have any money left after repairing the roof in the spring I mean to plant a new Garden of Eden with a thousand apple trees of some unforbidden variety.

[3] While living here, Frost wrote many of his poems in his Pulitzer Prize-winning volume of poetry, New Hampshire (1923), including Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.

The historic site now consists of seven acres, tumbled stone walls, two barns, and a few surviving apple trees.
