This July, history gets personal.
Meet the rebels, freedom‑seekers, and bold thinkers from right here in the Berkshires who helped shape America’s earliest ideals — and whose stories still echo today.

Every Wednesday in July, dive into American Stories: Rebels and Revolutionaries of the Berkshires, a five‑class history course at Norman Rockwell Museum that starts in the galleries and brings the past to life through art, conversation, and local stories with national impact.

Revolutionary history hits different when it’s homegrown.
