[2] Since her death, the property has been taken over by the Ruth Stone Foundation, established in 2013 to manage her legacy.

The main house, a vernacular farmhouse built about 1830, is located on the south side of Hathaway Road, with the informally marked grave of Ruth Stone nearby to the southwest.

Across Hathaway Road are two other buildings: the "Little House", apparently an early 19th-century barn converted into residential use, and the "Chapel", a 20th-century vernacular structure built using salvage materials by Stone's family and friends as a studio and retreat.

Stone's work went largely unrecognized until late in her life, when she won two National Book Awards, Guggenheim Fellowships, and was Vermont's poet laureate 2007–11.

Of Vermont's well-known poets, it is distinctive as a singular place associated with her life and work.
