Day 1. Welcome to Stockbridge!

Once you've collected your luggage, head over to the Enterprise counter to pick up your rental car. The drive from the airport in Albany to your home base in Stockbridge will take about an hour. 

Once you've settled in, head out and get to know a little about the town. The adopted home of Norman Rockwell, Stockbridge has over two centuries of American history. Grab a bite at a charming, bistro-style restaurant and perhaps visit a few of the boutiques, antique stores, and other shops that line the streets of Stockbridge. 

Check-in - The Red Lion Inn

Stockbridge, United States
3 out of 5 stars

The Red Lion Inn offers guests a quaint New England experience near several main attractions. The Norman Rockwell Museum, historic homes, antique shops, and ornate gardens are all nearby. With its friendly service, gourmet on-site dining options, and heated outdoor pool, The Red Lion Inn is the perfect getaway for couples, friends, and families. 

Day 2. Stockbridge

Get to know Stockbridge with a visit to Naumkeag House and Gardens. Step into the Gilded Age as you explore this sprawling estate and its manicured gardens. This 44-room shingle-style home sits on 46 acres of pasture, woodlands, and gardens, overlooking Monument Mountain and the Housatonic River Valley. 

In the late 1800s, post-Civil War industrialists built fabulous homes in the Berkshires to exhibit their wealth and status - which they absurdly referred to as "cottages." Over 75 of these cottages were built in villages like Stockbridge and Lenox, some of which can still be visited today. 

This afternoon, visit the Norman Rockwell Museum, Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum, or hit one of Stockbridge's scenic nature trails: The Mary Flynn Trail, Laura’s Tower Trail or Ice Glen Trail.

Norman Rockwell Museum Admission

The Norman Rockwell Museum is a "must-see" New England destination as the most comprehensive museum dedicated to published illustration - art that tells stories. Enjoy original art that reflects our shared humanity, history, and culture. Explore 323 Saturday Evening Post Covers by Norman Rockwell, his most iconic paintings including the defining images he created to advance the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s.  The famous Four Freedoms paintings are a centerpiece at the Museum.

There’s always something new to see with changing exhibitions featuring the best in American Illustration art, to inspire your curiosity and wonder.  Walk the beautiful grounds and discover sculptures by Rockwell’s son Peter, the sweeping views of the Berkshire Hills, and explore Norman’s actual studio (open May through October). The Museum Store has even more to see; shop for your favorite Rockwell prints, gifts, and books. The Runaway Café on the Museum’s scenic covered terrace offers seasonal, fresh-air dining. Lunch and snacks, ice cream, soft drinks, beer & wine are available a la carte. Picnic tables are also located on the grounds.

For a classic Berkshires experience, begin your day in Lenox. Here, you'll find iconic sights like The Mount, Edith Wharton's former stately home. 

This afternoon, make your way to Pleasant Valley. With varied trails covering more than1,000 acres, the sanctuary offers hiking for every skill level and curves along the slopes of Lenox Mountain, bringing walkers through forests, meadows, and wetlands.
