Steepletop Extended Walking Tour Sunday. 1 pm

Millay Volunteer, Lora Woodward will lead you on a guided 120-minute grounds tour. The 2.5-mile walk covers relatively flat, rolling terrain and highlights some of Steepletop’s key landmarks, including Millay’s gravesite and the Hidden Meadow. Learn more about the landscape that Millay curated over her 25 years on the property while getting a chance to meet other visitors. Please wear sensible walking shoes.

Those interested in the tour should meet at the Tamarack Cottage Visitors Center prior to the walk start time listed above.

Live In-The-Moment Typewriter Poetry with The Sweet Slow in Millay’s Writing Cabin, 11 am – 4 pm

Jess Bowe of The Sweet Slow brings the art of live typewriter poetry to the Millay writing cabin, offering an intimate and enchanting experience where words are woven in-the-moment, inspired by a brief conversation, a single word, or a feeling shared by the recipient. Each poem is typed on cotton paper, becoming a one-of-a-kind keepsake—a tangible piece of poetry to hold onto, gift, or cherish forever.
