Artifact Overview
By 2000, Greenfield Village began showing its age. Buildings and crumbling infrastructure desperately needed repair. Museum planners envisioned a revitalized village. They created themed "Historic Districts" by relocating and refurbishing the historic structures. Workers repaved streets and upgraded water, sewer, electric, and gas lines. In June 2003, nine months after restoration began, visitors passed through a new entrance into a reborn Greenfield Village.

ArtifactRobert 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.
