In Arlington, a 10-mile drive north of Bennington, this tiny maple-syrup shop houses an exhibition of Saturday Evening Post covers from Norman Rockwell's years in Arlington (1939–53), along with photos and written remembrances from former Arlington residents who posed for Rockwell. You can also see a short film about the artist.
