From Sea to Shining Sea:
Katharine Lee Bates and the Story of
America the Beautiful
This 37 minute film explores the remarkable life of poet, professor, and social reformer Katharine Lee Bates.
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. Her legacy extends beyond her famous words—she was a trailblazer for women in academia and a champion for social justice. This documentary celebrates her remarkable life, honoring both her national influence and her enduring ties to the Falmouth community.
