The Rockwell exhibit was great, a must see if you have been to the museum in Stockbridge, MA. Remember that Norman Rockwell lived here before moving to Stockbridge, MA.

This was a stop not to be missed for Norman Rockwell fans. The Sugar Shack houses a wonderful exhibit of Rockwell's work. The highlight would be the displays that are composed of Rockwell's print, a narration from him about the print, a photo of the LOCAL person who modeled for the print, and their own recollections of posing for him....

The exhibit seems at one with Rockwell's portrayal of America. A video runs continually with the Rockwell story and the walls are covered with examples of his amazing work. Looking at Norman Rockwell's work in the town where so many of his models lived feels perfect. Visitors can buy Rockwell prints and memorabilia.

Visit the Sugar Shack in Arlington for little known information about Norman Rockwell's characters, people who lived in Arlington.

I had been there before but my new husband had not and he enjoyed it very much. It was a hot day and we were already tired from our first tour.

We traveled from Manchester and it took about 40 minutes both ways to get to the Rutland Norman Rockwell Exhibition, but once we got there we found it wonderful to see the art of such a perfectionist. Wonderful exhibit...if a bit far from Arlington.

Great place to see and learn about Norman Rockwell and his paintings and the people in them. Rich, the owner gave us some info on the paintings. Good guy. We also purchased some artwork. Do go here if you love 40's, 50's, 60's Americana. Not to be missed.
