Family Festival Days
Home Run! An All American Baseball Day
Saturday, July 8

1 – 5 p.m.

A national pastime, baseball has also been a favorite subject of America’s most popular illustrators. Celebrate summer with a tribute to the sport and the artists who captured the excitement of the game. Hands-on art making, tours, special presentations, a game of catch on the lawn, and more will make this a fun-filled day. Artist John Broderick will offer insights into his baseball-inspired work; Larry Moore, Museum and Outreach Educator from the National Baseball Hall of Fame, will explore the history and evolution of baseball equipment; Curator of Education Tom Daly will discuss the recent book, Baseball in the Berkshires; and representatives from the Pittsfield Suns and Berkshire Adult Baseball League will be on site to meet visitors. Free for Museum members, or included with Museum admission.

Land Acknowledgement

It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
