The Road Not Taken,a fine art exhibit inspired by the poetry of Robert Frost, will be in the Daland Memorial Library in Mont Vernon, NH for April 2026. Come visit during open hours.  Tuesday-Thursday 10am-8pm, Friday 2-6, Saturday 10-1.

The Road Not Taken,a fine art exhibit inspired by the poetry of Robert Frost, is making the rounds of libraries and nature centers throughout the state of New Hampshire. The presentation, designed by three Derry artists, Ingeborg V. Seaboyer, Judy Krassowski and Corinne Dodge, features approximately30 works that reflect a variety of personal interpretations of the most famous as well as some of the “less traveled” works of one of America’s most inspiring poets, Robert Frost.

Images in pen and ink, watercolor, acrylics and oils are accompanied by a selected verse that inspired each individual work. An exhibit reference book provides additional information on the artists as well as upcoming exhibit venues.

Originally the exhibit was created to support the grand re-opening of the Derry Public Library, Derry NH, in September, 2011. Since that time, the exhibit has been touring libraries and community venues in southern New Hampshire. Additional scheduling is underway to present The Road Not Taken, with a goal of reaching all of the public libraries in the state.
