The Millay Society at Steepletop is delighted to announce the third of five Open Day weekends celebrating the centennial of the property’s purchase by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay and her husband Eugen Boissevain. Highlighting the weekend will be two musical performances: Saturday at 2 pm, Laszlo Slomovits and Jennifer Burd will perform, and on Sunday at 2 pm, The Wanda Houston Project will take the stage. Saturday will also feature Typewriter Poet Jess Bowe creating bespoke typewriter poetry in Millay’s writing cabin from 11 am to 4 pm. On Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 am, Millay Society Trustee Lora Woodward will offer a 60-minute guided walk through the grounds.

Throughout the weekend, guests may wander through Millay’s gardens, explore the Poetry Trail that leads to the Millay family gravesites, and bring a picnic to enjoy on the grounds. Tickets for 60-minute House Tours are available for $25 on each day; purchasing in advance is strongly encouraged. Grounds & Picnic passes, which allow visitors to walk and explore the 200-acre property, are available for $10 per person per day, in advance or on site. All visitors are welcome to attend the special events at no additional charge.

The Steepletop gift shop will be open, and the Jackson Gallery in the Tamarack Visitors Center will feature a new exhibition: “Edna St. Vincent Millay: Life at Steepletop 1925-1950,” which presents artifacts from Millay’s 25 years at Steepletop.

Future Open Days will take place on the second weekend of each month through October.
