Visit Stockbridge, Massachusetts, the Town That Inspired Norman Rockwell

Follow us to Stockbridge, Massachusetts in this season one segment from “Weekends with Yankee” (episode 111). Its most famous former resident, beloved American painter Norman Rockwell, is still adored today for his honest, and often humorous, depictions of American culture, and much of his everyday inspiration came from his own backyard. Learn about the Norman Rockwell Museum, then get to know some of the lives he touched by hearing from some of the real-life models used in his work, and see for yourself why Stockbridge’s classic New England charm inspired such a rich and resonant body of work.
