点评:We came across Jacobsens Museum while exploring Washington Island and decided to stop in. It’s a little off the beaten path, but honestly, that’s part of the fun of exploring the island!
The museum has been here since 1931 and is filled with all kinds of interesting pieces from Washington Island’s past. There are antiques, old tools, local artifacts and some outdoor displays, along with several small wooden buildings you can peek inside. My favorite part was seeing Jens Jacobsens tiny summer cabin and some of the things he actually made himself.
We also chatted with one of the volunteers, who explained some of what we were looking at and shared a little more of the history. I always enjoy places like this so much more when there’s someone there who can tell you the stories behind everything.
There’s no charge to visit, and you don’t need a ton of time. It’s simply a cute, interesting little stop while you’re driving around Washington Island — and we’re glad we found it!
翻译:我们在游览华盛顿岛时偶然发现了雅各布森博物馆,于是决定进去看看。虽然它有点偏僻,但说实话,这正是探索这座岛屿的乐趣所在!
这座博物馆自1931年起便坐落于此,馆内陈列着大量与华盛顿岛历史相关的有趣藏品。这里有古董、旧式工具、当地特色手工艺品,还有一些户外展览品;此外还有几座小木屋,游客可以走进去一探究竟。我最喜欢的部分就是看到延斯·雅各布森的那座小小的夏日小屋,还有他自己亲手制作的一些物品。
我们还和一位志愿者聊了天,他为我们讲解了所看到的一些东西,还讲述了更多相关历史。每当有能讲述背后故事的人在场时,我总会更加喜欢这类地方。
参观是免费的,也用不了太多时间。这里就是一个很可爱的小地方罢了。在华盛顿岛上驾车游玩时,这是个挺有趣的小景点——我们很高兴自己发现了它!
