At Steepletop in Austerlitz, NY - Millay's home for the final 25 years of her life - we are also celebrating the 100th anniversary, or centennary, of the greatest poem in the modern English language with an exhibit that puts you on top of Mount Battie in Camden, Maine, with replicas of her original manuscript, with a display of her mother's poetry from that period of time and with tours, readings and music all summer long.
