Sadly, when it was done, many started jumping off the top to their deaths, so of course I had to visit and see what this was like. Parked in the ski slope Farm Retreat parking lot and walked to the trailhead across the street. Worth seeing and hiking up to the tower as it's so quick, though you can't enter the tower/climb up it. Visitors put wildflowers at the base of the tower by the sealed door which was so nice. 5 stars!!!!

This was the first time we have hiked up to the tower and we have to say that we were not disappointed. The walk itself was fairly low impact and didn't take very long. Once we got to the top we enjoyed sitting by the tower while taking in the serenity of the wood. Overall it was a great experience and we would totally hike here again.

What really struck me was the extent of the construction of the walls. And the flattish roof. It's hard to explain, but this bridge just felt special. Unlike any of the other covered bridges I've seen. Adding to its charm is the old train car and depot station that sit nearby.

Looooooved the gift shop, and the alpacas at the end are adorable. Def going to have to drive up for the next solstice for sureeeee.

This is one of several mysterious stone chambers in New England, whose provenance and purpose is…read moreunknown. Usually they are square or rectangular in shape, with stone slabbed roofs and soil floors. Archaeologists usually try to claim that they were built by early colonists as 'root cellars' yet they are ill-suited to that task as the floors are soil, which is hardly conducive to dry storage. There is also some documentary evidence from early colonists saying that the chambers were there when they arrived. Other chambers have had very old trees growing out of their walls, evidence that the chamber must be older than the tree. Another theory is that they were sweat lodges used by native Americans, but there is no evidence to show that any native groups built stone sweat lodges. So who did build these things? The closest equivalent in Britain is the souterrains of Scotland or fogous of Cornwall, but these tend to be larger and have curved layouts. The corbelled roof construction is similar to the beehive cells constructed by early monks like the Culdees, but there the similarity ends. Maybe it was early Viking explorers? An earlier megalithic culture that we don't know about? It's a fascinating enigma. Research by antiquarians and earth mystery researchers has shown that many chambers have precise geometric ratios in their construction, and that they are aligned to significant solar events like midwinter solstice, and this Beehive Hut seems no exception. The proportions are almost exactly 2:1 - it is just short of being twice as long as it is wide, and the width and height are the same. The entrance (by my estimation) seems to be aligned to midwinter sunrise (it's hard to be precise because of the tree cover), and is situated part-way up a hillside, which would allow the rising sun to enter the chamber. There are an interesting couple of white quartz stones, one in the back wall and one in the left-hand side wall, which may mark the extremes of the sunrise positions between equinox and winter solstice. But as I'm not resident here I am unable to do the long-term observations that this theory would require to confirm it. Interested locals should get in touch with the New England Antiquities Research Association (NEARA), who will know more about these things.

They put it together and brought our group of four on a very in-depth tour. You will learn so much about NH's only president, about society at the time of Pierce's life and presidency, and what local homes were like in that era. Our volunteer was able to answer every question that we lobbed her way, even on things not directly related to the Pierces. Bonus: you can see the dress that Pierce wore as a child. My one quibble was that our tour guide seemed to dismiss our personal anecdotes that we offered that connected with what we were seeing, which was disappointing as I used to be a docent at a presidential library, and learned the most from people on my tours. She also was very short with me when she saw me taking some photos (non-flash!), but she hadn't told me that it was not allowed. Apparently there was a sign in the lobby but I hadn't seen it. Overall, totally worth spending an hour while you're in New Hampshire to learn some history!

Photos and information from his life, beginning with his parents, are in the barn and a very interesting read. On the hour, a video is played in the barn. The primary narrator is his daughter, as a grandmother, speaking with a group of elementary school children of her memories growing up here with her dad. There are also segments of Robert Frost reading his own poetry. If you are a fan, you will very much enjoy those segments. Directly after the video a tour begins in front of the barn and moves through the barn into both floors of the house. Each tour guide offers their own insights so visiting multiple times you may learn new things. They have purchased furnishings as close to those owned by the family as they could find, including dishes, wood stoves and wall paper. They also own part of Robert Frosts personal library. He had many of the 'classics' of his lifetime. Handicapped parking is available directly in front of the barn with a ramp up into the building there. The rest of us park behind the building in a dirt lot. Here you will find the entrance to a loop trail walk that includes a series of signs with Robert Frost poems along the route. The first floor of the tour is probably handicapped accessible, but the upper floor, where bedrooms are located, is not. A gravel pathway at the side of the barn leads to and from parking. A basement entrance here leads to a tool display and two restrooms. Picnic tables are located under the trees here as well. This state park is 'carry in, carry out' meaning there are no trash bins and you are expected to leave with whatever you brought. Dogs on leash are allowed outdoors. Picking up after your pet is appreciated and expected. A gift shop is located in the barn and includes new and used books of poetry, t-shirt, cards, mugs and a few other items. We spent about two hours here taking the tour, walking the property and purchasing gifts from their shop.
