We have mapped out a route that samples our history, culture, vistas, and leisurely shopping. Start at the town’s crossroads, Main and South Street (Rte. 7). The famed Red Lion Inn, originally founded as the Inn at the Sign of the Red Lion in 1773 (along with the sign of King George III), graces the corner. Its famous front porch beckons visitors to sit, sip, and people watch. Set in the triangular park at the center of the crossroads is one of Stockbridge’s public landmarks, the 1862 Cat and Dog Fountain.
A right turn from the crossroads leads you past many historic buildings. Norman Rockwell captured the interior of the 1884 House, the origi-nal Stockbridge Town Offices, in “The Marriage License.” Be sure to explore The Mews, a Main Street cul-de-sac of shops, and its neighboring byway that marks the spot of the original Alice’s Restaurant of Arlo Guthrie fame.
At the corner of Main and Elm stands the Stockbridge Library. One of the oldest libraries in Western Massachusetts, the original structure,
now the left wing, was built in 1864. The library houses the Historical Room, a museum and research center containing the original Hitty doll and artifacts from the town’s earliest inhabitants, the Mahican Indians.
The 1881 Watering Trough stands at the corner of Main and Elm. It features the homilies “Utility is preferable to grandeur” and “Merciful man is kind to his beast.” As you walk down Elm Street, you’ll notice the 1862 red and white firehouse known as Hose House No.1 that Rockwell pic-tured in his work “The New American LaFrance is here!” The impressive 1862 St. Joseph’s Church is at the left corner.
Turn the corner onto Maple Street, take a right onto South Street, passing The Red Lion Inn, and cross Main. You will be on Pine Street at the site of the 1866 Soldiers Monument. At that corner, the 1884 St. Paul’s Episcopal Church features a chancel window by LaFarge, baptistery by Louis St. Gaudens, and nave window by Tiffany.
Go west on Main Street, toward the beautiful
“Cottages” built by wealthy industrialists as sum-mer mansions during the opulent Gilded Age.
The corner of Main and Sergeant Street pres-ents you with The Mission House museum, built in 1739 (the year Stockbridge was incorporated) by Rev. John Sergeant, the first missionary to the Mahican Indians. Originally located on Eden Hill, the Mission House was moved to its Main Street site in the 1920s, restored, furnished with authentic period pieces, and opened as a museum in 1930. Continuing West on Main you will discover the historic Stockbridge Cemetery with its Sedgwick Pie, the ancestral plot of one of Stockbridge’s oldest families.
Cross Main Street to the 19th century Village Green, site of the 1824 Congregational Church, with membership dating back to 1739; addi-tional war memorials, and the Children’s Chime Tower, dedicated in 1878 and rung at 5:30 every evening from “apple blossom time until frost” in accordance with the donor’s wishes. The historic Greek Revival building is the Historic Town Hall
STOCKBRIDGE: A WALKING TOUR (see map, pages 22-23)
Stockbridge is shaped by its rich history – from its origin as an Indian mission town, to its heyday as a summer home for wealthy families of the Gilded Age, to its current small-town atmosphere captured so endearingly by the American illustrator, Norman Rockwell.

collections of fine art devoted to a single American sculptor and period. French is best known for creat-ing two of our nation’s most powerful symbols: The Minute Man (1875), and Abraham Lincoln (1922) for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
WEST STOCKBRIDGE Travel west from the town of Stockbridge, turn right at the cemetery onto Rte. 102 (Church St.) and follow the winding country road for approximately 4.4 miles into the center of historical West Stockbridge.
A tranquil and fertile valley fed by the Williams River, West Stockbridge, was incorporated in 1774. Close to NY and boasting a rich history in mining marble, iron, and lime, this lovely little town, once home to more than 30 quarries, was the first railroad terminus in Berkshire County.
Today, West Stockbridge retains its pictur-esque, small town character. It is home to about 1600 full-time residents in addition to local businesses, restaurants, outdoor sculture park, and seasonal farmer’s market.
currently vacant. Farther west on Main Street, past the Congregational Church is the Indian burial ground monument, with its obelisk of stone hewn from the nearby Ice Glen.
The following special sites are best reached by car, although the hearty may wish to walk or bicycle.
SOUTH A few blocks south of Main discover the Ice Glen, a natural wonder ideal for hiking. Take Rte.7 South; turn left onto Park Street and park at the end of the street. A footbridge over the Housatonic River will lead you to three trails. The Mary Flynn trail is a paved walk along the river that is handicapped accessible. Or cross the railroad track. In a quarter of a mile, the right fork will lead you into the Ice Glen complete with glacial boulders and ice crystals even in July. The left fork will take you to Laura’s Tower. Climb the tower for views of Mt. Everett, the Catskills, and the Green Mountains.
EAST Traveling east from The Red Lion Inn, you’ll come to the Town Offices, Police Station and Stockbridge Chamber of Commerce. It also houses public restrooms. Across the street and a little farther to the East, you will find The Fitzpatrick Main Stage. Originally built as a casino in 1888, this iconic building, designed by Stanford White, helped establish the Berkshires as a cultural destination when it became home to the Berkshire Theatre Festival, founded in 1928. It remains the main stage for the summer festival of plays.
NORTH At the Stockbridge crossroads, go north on Pine Street; The Marian Fathers’ property, Eden Hill, is at the top of the hill. It’s the home of the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, the Association of Marian Helpers, and the National Shrine Gift Shop. Veer left from Pine Street up Prospect Hill for a glimpse of grand “cottages” and farmsteads. Naumkeag, designed by Stanford White, is one of a few Berkshire Cottages open to the public. Built in 1885 for Joseph Choate, a prominent New York attorney and ambassador to Great Britain, the home, furnishings, and lush gardens draw the visitor into the Gilded Age. The Trustees of Reservations, established in 1891 as
the country’s first independent organization for the preservation of landscape and historic sites, oversee Naumkeag, the Mission House, and Monument Mountain.
As you continue to climb up Prospect Hill, you pass Hawthorne Cottage (The Little Red House), home of Nathaniel Hawthorne from 1850–51. Here he collected material for Tanglewood Tales and The Wonder Book, wrote The House of Seven Gables, and crafted names that were later used by two famous sites — Shadowbrook, the largest of the Berkshire Cottages (now the site of Kripalu), and Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
WEST Travel west from the town of Stock-bridge, turn right at the cemetery, follow Rte. 102 (Church St.) to the Berkshire Botanical Garden. Fifteen acres of landscaped gardens, woodland walks, and picnicking offer visitors information and inspiration.
At this intersection (Rte. 183 & 102), head south on Rte. 183, and signs will direct you to the Norman Rockwell Museum. Home to the world’s largest collection of original Rockwell paintings, the museum includes the painter’s studio, the Linwood Cottage, picnic areas, outdoor sculpture by Rockwell’s son Peter, and the Norman Rockwell Museum Store. The museum features permanent and changing exhibitions, classes and programs, and a reference library.
Continue south onto Rte. 183 and follow the signs to Chesterwood, the summer estate of sculptor Daniel Chester French (1850-1931). The Colonial Revival residence and studio house nearly 500 pieces of sculpture — one of the largest

Where to StayWhere to StayWhen Norman Rockwell described Stockbridge as “...the Best of New England,” he may have been influenced by the town’s architectural landscape, as well as its tradition of extending hospitality to visitors. Today the town’s innkeepers help preserve Stockbridge’s historic character and maintain its heritage of welcoming guests, while providing the modern amenities travelers have come to expect.
Whether you prefer an historic inn, charming B&B or a newer property, be sure to make your reservations well in advance if you’re planning to visit during the popular summer or fall foliage seasons.

Every Stockbridge season is stamped with its own beauty and charm; the green and flower-filled lushness of spring and summer; a fall foliage palette without rival; the winter feel of an old-fashioned Christmas card. Enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities or take a deep breath, inhale the Berkshire mountain air, and slow your pace to match the town’s character. Stroll our streets, pathways, and gardens. Indulge your senses in our beautiful rolling hills surroundings and perhaps catch a glimpse of one of our many wild, indigenous inhabitants.
