Steepletop in Austerlitz, New York, is the house where Edna St. Vincent Millay lived for twenty-five years and wrote many of her poems. Now the house is a museum dedicated to Millay's life and writings. Visitors travel to this museum to feel more connected to an author they admire. To encourage that sense of connection, the museum's curators recommend nearby hiking trails and outdoor activities. Such activities help visitors appreciate the natural scenery that inspired Millay.
