Katharine Lee Bates (1859-1929), a Falmouth native, holds a cherished place in American history as the author of America the Beautiful, a poem that captures the country’s sweeping landscapes and enduring ideals. Born and raised in Falmouth, her deep connection to the town’s coastal beauty and rich literary culture helped shape her voice as a writer, educator, and social advocate.

This documentary celebrates her remarkable life, honoring both her national influence and her enduring ties to the Falmouth community.
