Did you know America’s most beloved poet wandered under our live oaks? Poet Laureate Robert Frost (1874-1963) spent his winters in Gainesville and gave readings on the UF campus from 1946 to 1960. Frost, who possessed a real affinity for the countryside, loved to walk in the Gainesville woods and frequently strolled UF’s expansive campus. The university awarded him an honorary doctorate in January 1960. #BraggingRights #GatorNation
