Norman Rockwell is a famous artist. We visited a museum about him and his paintings. He was born back in the 1800s but his artwork is still loved today. His first job in painting was a picture for the Saturday Evening Post. He loved to paint children in different circumstances. He painted in the Navy and then he came back and started up again with the Saturday Evening Post.
We also went to the Van Buren National Historic Site. The site is his former home, called Lindenwald, which he bought while he was in the White House. It served as many things after it left his family: nursing home, restaurant, tea room, antique gallery.
Both things today were really cool, and I learned a lot.
