One of the merriest streets in the country is right here in Massachusetts.
NBC10 Boston's Priscilla Casper joined TODAY anchors Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie on Friday for a visit to Main Street in Stockbridge, a town so picture-perfect that Norman Rockwell actually captured the winter scene with a painting, "Stockbridge Main Street at Christmas." Rockwell spent the last 25 years of his life in the town.
Founded in 1734, Stockbridge has a population around 2,000 people. Every December thousands of visitors attend a magical weekend-long event filled with art, music, and holiday activities, culminating with the actual recreation fo the Rockwell painting. The tradition started 35 years ago as a way to help boost holiday spirit and support local businesses.
As for things to do, you can plan your stay at The Red Lion Inn - the oldest continually operating hotel in the country, take in a show at the Berkshire Theater Company - one of the oldest active theaters - then take a visit to see the original Rockwell painting at the Norman Rockwell Museum.
