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.

No former residents of this house were as famous or as internationally renowned as American poet Robert Frost (1874-1963). This house, discovered by Henry Ford on a drive through Ann Arbor, Michigan, became a stellar example of Greek Revival architecture in Ford's Greenfield Village, and it still exhibits furnishings from the period. Only within this century has its most celebrated resident reclaimed his rightful place.
