Robert Frost spent his summers at the nearby Bread Loaf School of English. To commemorate this, vignettes of several poems are mounted along the trail in the woods and fields. The Robert Frost Interpretive Trail is suitable for children, elderly or disabled. Moosalamoo Association is grateful for support from its members and many local businesses.
