To honor the 100th anniversary of the graduation of one its most
famous alumnae, Vassar College is hosting a special exhibition on the
life of Edna St. Vincent Millay, acclaimed Jazz Age poet. The
exhibition “Edna St. Vincent Millay: Treasures From Steepletop”
brings artifacts from Millay’s beloved home, Steepletop, an estate
in Austerlitz, New York, which is now a museum, to Vassar to bridge
two places of importance in the poet’s life. The show, which is
organized by season, features candid photos of Millay’s life at
Steepletop, excerpts from her letters, first edition books, and poems
relevant to each season. Also featured are numerous personal items,
including Millay’s traveling typewriter, her hunting rifle, china
and crystal, and jewelry.
