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. Walk along an historic timeline of The Saturday Evening Post covers beginning with Rockwell’s first cover in 1916. For 47 years Rockwell’s Post covers showcased American life as depicted in 323 poignant paintings.
