In western New Hampshire, near Franconia Notch and Mount Washington, is the house where Robert Frost lived.
His house is now home to a poet-in-residence much of the year, but quiet walks on the grounds are permitted. Frost's porch looks out over flower beds and tiger lilies along the road, and a stunning view of the White Mountains in the distance. The back yard consists of walking paths, an overgrown well, and the edge of the forest -- including, of course, the birches and the dark, deep woods.
