Robert Frost Home
Robert Frost, one of America's greatest poets, had an extraordinary ability to put complex and deeply insightful ideas into everyday language. In the mid-1920s, Frost lived in this house while he was the University of Michigan's first poet-in-residence. Here, located away from the bustle of the Ann Arbor campus, his creative spirit and imagination soared as he wrote poetry and met with students.
