点评:My vocabulary is insufficient to describe what a fabulous experience we had here. It's similar to Colonial Williamsburg or Harper's Ferry in that the buildings provide the historical focal points, but it is SO MUCH more than either of those places. Many of the buildings are open to tour (self-guided except for Tuesdays). Some have exhibits; some are set up to reflect a specific family or time period. Some have docents, and some have people in character as they would be at the point in time they would've lived/worked there. One home had half set up as it was when a wealthy merchant lived there in the late 1700s/early 1800s, with the other half as it was when a lower-income family lived there in the same house in the 1950s. One home was restored to post-Depression pre-WWI (even though the home was built a century or more earlier), and had information provided directly from the woman who lived there as a child. Another building had interactive spinning and looming with a docent. Absolutely fascinating! The admission fee seems high at $25 per person, but it is totally worth it! The only thing I would like to see in the future of this fantastic place is an on-site operating tavern!
翻译:我的词汇量实在不足以形容我们在这里的体验有多美妙。这里与威廉斯堡殖民小镇或哈珀斯费里类似,建筑本身就是历史的象征;但它比那两个地方都要精彩得多。许多建筑都对外开放参观(除周二外均可自行游览)。有些建筑设有展览;有些则按照特定家族或历史时期来陈列布置。还有些地方有讲解员为大家介绍。有些房子里还按人物所处时代的特征来布置,还原他们当年在此生活或工作时的模样。有一栋房子的半边按18世纪末/19世纪初一位富商居住时的样子布置,另一半则还原为20世纪50年代一个低收入家庭居住时的模样。还有一栋房子被修复成了大萧条时期至一战前的风格(尽管这栋房子实际上是一个多世纪前建造的)。我们还获得了那位童年时曾住在那里的女士亲自提供的信息。另一栋建筑里还有由讲解员引导的互动式旋转体验项目。真的非常吸引人!虽然门票价格看似偏高,每人25美元,但绝对物有所值!对于这个极棒的地方,我唯一希望未来能增设的就是一家现场营业的酒馆!
