Information plaque on Route 28 reads: Robert Frost in Allenstown In the summer of 1896, aspiring poet Robert Frost (1874-1963) and his wife Elinor spent a belated honeymoon in a rented cottage near the suncook River in Allenstown. Carl Burell, a high school friend and avid naturalist, was foreman at the Moulten box shop at Buck Street dam. Botany walks with Burell awakened Frost to the natural world, coloring his later writings. Frost recalled these walks in "The Quest of the Orchis" (1901). Burell's 1896 injury in a mill accident inspired Frost's poem, "The Self-Seeker."
