• Bookmark These U.S. Travel Spots for Readers (aarp.org subscription) — If you’re looking for a nearby literary day trip, Robert Frost’s former 30-acre chicken farm in Derry is open May through October with guided tours and a new self-guided nature and poetry trail. Visitors can walk the grounds where Frost lived, see the stone wall that likely inspired “Mending Wall,” and experience the rural landscape that shaped his earliest poems. 
• Obituary: Nathan D. Meisner (sunjournal.com) — A Salem family is mourning 36-year-old Nathan D. Meisner, who was born in Derry and recently passed away at Massachusetts General Hospital. Loved for his generous spirit and love of the outdoors, he leaves behind his wife Courtney, close family, and many friends. Calling hours and funeral services will be held this Friday and Saturday in Windham, with donations suggested to the Jimmy Fund.
