REGION – The Berkshires is an enclave for art appreciation, eclectic music, and fine food. Combined with stunning scenery, a laid-back lifestyle and a few aging hippies, you’ve got a fun spot for a quick getaway.
Showcasing American life
The highlight of a weekend in the Berkshires can be a visit to the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge. Take a reminiscent journey back in time as you peruse the exhibits filled with Rockwell’s artistic genius.
