Walking along Stockbridge High Street is like stepping back in time when The Berkshires in Massachusetts was home to the celebrated artist Norman Rockwell. As we explore the villages that make up the region we visit: the Museum that displays Rockwell’s work documenting the simplicity of his life and times in New England; Gilded Cottages once homes to the wealthy; spend time on the ski hills at Jiminy Peak; and take in the Hancock Shaker Village. Finally we travel to the outskirts of the Berkshires to Old Sturbridge Village Park — an interactive museum that gives insight to the early 19th century.
