# The Docent's House - Honoring a Legacy – 4 Bedroom Vacation Rental in Great Barrington, Massachusetts | Berkshire Vacation Rental Co. Welcome to The Docent's House, a home with a story worth staying for. For 18 years the woman who lived here walked visitors through the galleries of the Norman Rockwell Museum telling the stories behind the paintings.
