Steepletop
Austerlitz, NY

Steepletop, a 600-acre farmstead in upstate New York, rests comfortably at the intersection of gardening and literature. This National Historic Landmark was the home of the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay for the last twenty-five years of her life. She built a writer’s cabin there under whispering pines and drew inspiration from the gardens she planted among the ruins of Steepletop’s original farm. The Garden Conservancy is advising the Millay Society on restoration, management, and planning.
