Pulitzer-prize winning poet Robert Frost was born in San Francisco, California, but his family moved to a farm in Derry, New Hampshire in 1900. Frost lived there until 1911 and was greatly influenced by the house. He once wrote of his childhood home: “There was something about the experience at Derry which stayed in my mind, and was tapped for poetry in the years that came after.”
Frost’s home in Derry is now a museum and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is not to be confused with The Robert Frost House on Brewster Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
