Chesterwood Vintage Motorcar Festival May 26, 2013

Chesterwood Vintage Motorcar Festival May 26, 2013

The 2013 Chesterwood Vintage Motorcar Festival is scheduled for Sunday, May 26, 2013 at Chesterwood, a National Trust Historic Site. The event will take place 10am-4pm, rain or shine. Located in Stockbridge, MA, and initiated in 1974, this show has always been one of the region’s most popular antique and vintage car meets. Chesterwood is the country home, studio and gardens of America’s foremost public sculptor, Daniel Chester French (1850-1931), who created such iconic works as the Minute Man in Concord, MA, and Abraham Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial. The breathtaking vistas of the Berkshire Hills and the artist’s beautiful country estate and grounds provide a fitting venue to display antique cars.

Each year, during the month of May, he left his permanent home and studio in New York for six months and moved with his family to Chesterwood, where he worked on over 200 public and private commissions. Many of French’s plaster sketches, including models of his Abraham Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial, are on view today in his Studio as well as in the permanent exhibit, Daniel Chester French: Sculpting an American Vision, in Barn Gallery.
