Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) lived in the Berkshires town of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, from 1953 until his death at the age of eighty-four. He loved the town, and it loved him back. The Norman Rockwell Museum was founded in 1969 with the help of Rockwell and his wife, Molly. The museum’s current home, built in 1993 and located just a short ride from downtown Stockbridge, is set on 36 scenic acres and houses the largest collection of original Norman Rockwell art in the world.
