点评:Excellent museum with so many weapons brought back by Hayes' son Webb! Loads of artifacts from the Rutherford B. Hayes family, each with a story, made visiting the museum a true treasure.
The home tour, led by Dick, was very good. He has a lot of knowledge in his head! We especially enjoyed hearing that there is a symphony concert on that beautiful lawn every now and then, dinners served in the dining room around the holidays, and many ways for people to be involved in the life of this stunning home. It truly is a marvel with 31 rooms, 15 fireplaces and furniture that belonged to the Hayes family. So well-tended and kept.
There's also President Hayes' library....the first Presidential library in the nation. He was also the first president with running water in the White House, as well as having the first typewriter and telephone there. His wife, Lucy, was the first First Lady to hold a college degree.
Fascinating and beautiful!
翻译:这是一座极棒的博物馆,陈列着许多由海斯之子韦布带回来的武器!馆内还有大量来自拉瑟福德·B·海斯家族的文物,每件都承载着独特的故事,让参观过程宛如一场真正的文化盛宴。
由迪克带领的故居导览也相当精彩。他简直就是个“活百科全书”!我们尤其喜欢听到这样的介绍:每逢时节,人们会在那片美丽的草坪上举办交响音乐会;节假日期间,餐厅还会供应晚宴呢。这座宏伟的宅邸有诸多方式供人们亲身参与其中。它堪称一个奇迹:拥有31个房间、15个壁炉,还有属于海斯家族的各式家具。整个宅邸被打理得井然有序、保存完好。
此外还有海斯总统的图书馆——这是美国历史上第一座总统图书馆。他也是第一位让白宫用上自来水的总统,白宫里还配备了第一台打字机和电话。他的妻子露西则是第一位拥有大学学位的第一夫人。引人入胜又美丽绝伦!
