The Norman Rockwell Museum of Vermont is located in Rutland.
One short day trip from Huletts Landing is the Norman Rockwell Museum of Vermont located in Rutland.
The famous American artist, Norman Rockwell, known for his covers of the Saturday Evening Post, moved to Vermont in 1939 where his work began to reflect small-town life.
The museum itself is very easy to find, being located near the corners of Rt 4 and Rt 7, just two miles east on Route 4. (You will need to go through Rutland if you’re driving from Huletts.)
The museum’s picture and painting collection is quite extensive. It’s a great place to purchase Rockwell art.
To illustrate of how life imitates art, I post below the famous Rockwell piece “The Soda Jerk” from 1953 and a shot from the Soda Fountain from the 1960’s.
