One of the buildings on the idyllic Bread Loaf Mountain campus of Middlebury College, twelve miles from Middlebury in Ripton, Vermont. This branch campus is home to the School of English, which sponsors notable writers' conferences. The campus has a strong connection to the legacy of renowned New England poet Robert Frost. From 1939 until his death in 1963, Frost spent summer and fall in a cabin at his farm in Ripton. During these seasons he wrote memorable poems and shared his craft at Middlebury’s Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference in the school's English classes. Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2017.
