Norman Rockwell wanted his studio preserved so museum visitors could learn about his working process. In 1976, he placed the studio and all of its furnishings and equipment in trust to The Norman Rockwell Museum at Stockbridge. In 1986, the contents were carefully packed, and the studio building was moved from South Street to a new site. As at its original location, the studio’s large windows face north and the building continues to overlook the Housatonic River. Its relocation and restoration were made possible by the generosity of Kraft General Foods.
