Frost’s Former Summer Home Vandalized
Apparently some teenagers in Vermont lack Robert Frost’s respect, not only for nature but for personal property. Vandals in Vermont broke into Robert Frost’s former summer home, Homer Noble Farm, and left a mess of beer bottles, cans, broken dishes, and charred furniture. Police report that on Friday, Dec. 28, 2007 an underage drinking party with at least 50 people was held at the historic site. The incident is still under investigation.

Frost spent the summers from 1939 to 1963 at his summer home, before he died in 1963.
