EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY’S STEEPLETOP TO OPEN DOORS 

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

 And all I saw from where I stood
Was three long mountains and a wood.
Over these things I could not see:
These were the things that bounded me…
“Renascence,” 1912

At Brook Farm Inn “there is poetry here,” so we’re proud to be supporters of Steepletop and excited to have the opportunity to take a tour! 

Marking the 60th anniversary of her death, Steepletop, the home poet Edna St. Vincent Millay lived in for the final 25 years of her life (and the building in which she died accidentally at the age of 58) will be opening to the public – as part of the museum dedicated to her and her work – for the first time this year. 

 There are sixteen tours offered each week beginning Friday, May 28, 2010. They will take place at 11:30, 12:30, 2:30 and 3:30 Friday through Monday through October 18. A few of those days may not be available. A maximum of six (6) people may tour at any one time. The price for these tours is $15 per person.

 

 

For advance reservations, call the Steepletop office at 518-392-EDNA (3362). www.millaysociety.org.
