Saint Albans Historical Society

St. Albans, Vermont

The Saint Albans Historical Society features one original Norman Rockwell pen and ink on paper drawing in its permanent collection.

While not tecnically a Norman Rockwell museum, the museum is listed here because it does boaast one piece of Rockwell artwork.

The prize of the museum's collection, in my Norman Rockwell art collector's mind, is not an original Norman Rockwell painting, but an illustration that appeared inside the Saturday Evening Post.

Norman Rockwell Visits a Family Doctor, a 10 x 9.5 inch or 25.5 x 24 cm pen and ink on paper illustration, is on display inside the museum in the medical display.

Norman Rockwell Visits a Family Doctor was the title of several illustrations appearing in an article of the same name. This particular drawing is captioned "His collection of Vermont historical material fills four book-lined rooms."

Norman Rockwell Visits a Family Doctor appeared in the April 12, 1947 issue of The Saturday Evening Post on page 33.

Norman Rockwell Visits a Family Doctor was alo reproduced in The Norman Rockwell Album.

This museum is definitely worth a visit. Especially for a Norman Rockwell collector.
