Stockbridge, MA makes Fodor’sTravel list of AMERICA’S BEST SMALL TOWNS
STOCKBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS
Population: 1,947
Serving as the inspiration for Normal Rockwell’s depictions of Americana on the front page of the Saturday Evening Post, Stockbridge is truly the paradigm of a small New England town. The artist lived in this undeveloped gem in the Berkshires from 1953 until 1978, capturing Stockbridge’s unique character in his paintings. Today, you can visit the Norman Rockwell Museum to see a retrospective of his work; also tourChesterwood, sculptor Daniel Chester French’s summer home. In many ways, Stockbridge feels timeless with its well-preserved architecture from the 18th and 19th centuries, which explains why this has long been a destination for wealthy Bostonians looking for a country escape. What’s more, Rockwell wasn’t the only artist to be inspired by this Massachusetts town; Stockbridge has been immortalized in James Taylor’s “Sweet Baby James,” and in Arlo Guthrie’s classic, droll Thanksgiving monologue-ballad “Alice’s Restaurant.” The town is also home to an eclectic shopping scene and Rouge, a French bistro housed in a shingled cottage just outside of town.
Where to Stay: The Inn at Stockbridge has beautiful grounds, but its proximity to the highway means some rooms are less quiet than others. The Red Lion Inn has been in operation since 1773 and consists of one historic building and nine annexes, each one unique.

Stockbridge, Ma on the list of 9 Cutest Towns in the Northeast
In recent years, the Massachusetts Berkshires have been luring more city slickers out of NYC and Boston than ever. Those in search of a picturesque bucolic escape look no further than Stockbridge, a resort town with relative name recognition thanks to famous resident Norman Rockwell. In fact, many visitors make the hike out to the western MA town just glimpse the largest collection of the prolific artist’s work and personal items at the Norman Rockwell Museum. Priceless art aside, it’s also worth spending some downtime at the Berkshire Botanical Garden and window-shopping the bric-a-brac-filled country stores on Historic Main Street. Once you work up an appetite, head 5-minutes down the road to No. Six Depot in West Stockbridge. The rustic small-batch coffee roaster/cafe/art gallery serves a mean panini (go for the porchetta with truffle aioli, hazelnut gremolata, and lemon-caper aioli) and—of course—the best caffeine fix in town.

Stretch Your Body and Mind in the Berkshires this Winter
When winter swipes away the crowds that make the Berkshires such a bustling summer arts hub and autumn leaf-peeping playground, this hilly region falls less dormant than you initially might perceive. Like Wite-Out painted over oopses, a coating of snow gives the Berkshires a fresh, clean start, but a careful look reveals it’s merely masking what lies underneath. Dark nights and cold snaps can’t erase the Berkshires’ cultural vitality, beauty, and recreational possibilities. When your inclination to hibernate peaks, run away, instead, to the Red Lion Inn, and—like an artist who sees each blank canvas’s inherent potential—shift your viewpoint on the season. Sure, rooms at this historic hotel on Stockbridge’s Main Street—particularly the spacious, serene retreats at Maple Glen guest house just steps from the lively main inn—seem ideally designed for a long winter’s nap. But the Red Lion Inn is at the heart of efforts to make the Berkshires an active four-season destination. A place where traditional winter sports are just the start of a vibrant line-up of outdoor and indoor activities so physically and intellectually stimulating, even cold and snow haters will feel inspired and recharged.
