Open Sesame
SOLD
For those of you receiving my snail mail annual newsletter Simon was featured in it and then subsequently purchased. He's the Red Lion Inn's mascot and pretty famous not only in these parts but even draws visitors from around the world to the Inn. The Red Lion Inn is in the heart of Stockbridge, MA & has been accommodating visitors since 1773. It was a featured winter scene by Norman Rockwell, a famous painter who had his studio in these parts too. It was not originally called the Red Lion Inn, but has held this title since around the turn of the century (1900 that is). Simon here is painted from the back porch door which is a little hide away compared to the front porch which adorns the Main Street. You can have a much quieter drink on this side! More on Simon and historic places to visit in the Berkshires on the nest post!
