•Clues•
1) Park in the sandy parking lot of the Robert Frost Farm.
2) Begin in the northeast corner of the parking lot facing the large field.
3) From the northeast corner, walk east, and on the left there will be a metal post bearing a short biography of some of Robert Frost's family.
4) Walk to that metal post.
5) When facing in front of the metal post on the right side of it walk roughly 25 normal steps until you see a majestic OAK tree shaped like a "V." Though, be warned, you must pay attention to this clue, for there are many trees shaped like a "V," but only one "V" OAK.
6) Hop over the rock wall and look inside the rock wall, your prize will be there. Please be considerate and do not dismantle any part of the rock wall. If you are to move any rocks, please place them EXACTLY as they were.
•History•
The Robert Frost Farm is a two-story farmhouse in Derry, New Hampshire in which the famous poet Robert Frost lived in from 1900 to 1911. Mr. Frost received this farm from his grandfather who bought it for him and his wife before his death. At this farm, Mr. Frost wrote many of his poems including: “Tree at My Window” and “Mending Wall”. Now the Robert Frost Farm is open to tour, displays a trail, and lovely poetry readings.
Robert Frost lived from March 26, 1874 until January 29, 1963. Robert Frost was born in San Francisco, California, his family later moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts. Frost Graduated from the high school in 1892 and then attended Dartmouth College. Before becoming a poet he worked at different jobs such as factory laborer, delivering newspapers, and working as a professor at Pinkerton Academy, a high school in Derry, New Hampshire.
Robert Frost sold his first home to the November 8, 1894 edition of the New York Independent, this poem is called, “My Butterfly: An Elegy”. After this Robert married Eleanor Miriam White, he attended Harvard University to study liberal arts for two years. Frost left Harvard and to his farmhouse in Derry New Hampshire that was bought for him and his family by his grandfather, and they lived there for 11 years. During this time period Frost worked as a teacher at Pinkerton Academy for five years and then at what is now Plymouth State University. After living in New Hampshire, Frost moved to many other places Such as Great Britain, Franconia, NH, Vermont, and Michigan. Mr. Frost read a few of his poems at the inauguration of John F. Kennedy when he was 86. Two years after reading that the president's inauguration Robert Frost died on January 29, 1963 at the age of 88. He died in Boston, due to complications from prostate surgery, and he was later buried at the old Bennington Cemetery in Bennington Vermont, leaving behind two children. Frost poems were famous for portraying what life was like in New England. Robert Frost's and his works were honored repeatably through out his life not to mention him receiving 4 Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry.
Other happenings in Frost's life were when his wife, Eleanor, died. This was after his family had moved to Britain, and Eleanor wanted her ashes buried back at the farm. Frost went back to his farmhouse, only to tragically discover that it had been turned into an auto graveyard. Frost did not bury Eleanor's ashes there.
Leslie, Frost's daughter, decided that she would go back to the farmhouse to visit it after Mr. Frost had died. She, too, discovered that it had been stripped of it's integrity as a farmhouse, and turned into an auto graveyard.
Leslie took action, buying the property, removing the automobiles, and restoring the farmhouse exactly as she had remembered it.
Today the farmhouse stands tall and proud, forever in Leslie's debt.
