His covers became more documentary in nature. During the five decades that Rockwell painted for the Post , African Americans rarely appeared in his covers. It was the Post 's and not Rockwell's philosophy of showing America to Americans, excluding illustrations of American Indians, and, except during World War II, of limiting the roles of women to homemaker, teacher, secretary and nurse. Today, the Atwater Kent continues to fulfill Mr. Kent's mission as it becomes a hands-on museum filled with exciting things to see and do. Located at 15 S. 7th Street, in the heart of the city's historic district, the Atwater Kent is around the corner from the Liberty Bell.
