Imagine looking out your window and seeing Norman Rockwell’s studio rolling down Main Street.

That’s exactly what happened in Stockbridge in 1986, when the artist’s studio was relocated to what is now the Norman Rockwell Museum. It was a once-in-a-generation sight, and one that reminds us how extraordinary Berkshire history can be.

As we close the final page on our Early Summer issue today, and this archival image felt like the perfect sendoff before our High Summer issue arrives…👀

Special thanks to the Norman Rockwell Museum for this iconic photo!

There are at least ten different speed limits between Craryville and Great Barrington, and it’s only an eleven mile drive.

At first, that sounds ridiculous. And then, somewhere around the second 30 mph zone, you start noticing things you’d normally speed right past. A beautifully dressed shop window. Dogwoods beginning to bloom. The little free library that’s somehow overflowing. The breakfast spot you keep meaning to try. The friend who owns the general store.

This is an essay about the strange gift of being forced to slow down, and realizing that maybe the Berkshires were never meant to be rushed through in the first place, as told by the hilariously witty gus heagerty

Every antique has two stories: The one it came with, and the one you’ll give it next.

In this beautifully observed essay, Megan Orringer writes about chasing the thrill of the unexpected, from wandering the “wrong” antique shops before finding the right one, to losing an auction for a painting only to discover a silk Ferragamo scarf hidden inside an old suitcase she’d almost regretted buying.

It’s funny, nostalgic, and quietly reminds us that the best finds rarely announce themselves.
