点评:This is an amazing tour in a beautiful historic home and grounds. Our tour guide, Nancy M, spoke for over an hour with fascinating tales about the Seipp family and their beer brewing success as well as the role the Seipp's played in Lake Geneva and Chicago history. As I understand it, our tour guide did the research for the historic site which explains her flawless delivery WITH NO NOTES and some humorous side comments. And Nancy's family had a summer home purchased in the early 60s about a mile from Black Point so she remembers when this lovely mansion was a private home and knew Bill Peterson - the last descendent of the Seipp family - who donated the home to the state of Wisconsin in 2005. We ended the tour in the gift shop where we could purchase a beer representative of the original recipe (and damn good!) and then could tour the lovely grounds. Don't miss this tour and if you get Nancy M as a tour guide, bonus!!!!
翻译:这是一次非常精彩的游览,带我们领略了一栋历史悠久的精美住宅及其周边环境。我们的导游南希·M滔滔不绝地讲了整整一个多小时,讲述了西普家族的传奇故事、他们酿造啤酒的辉煌历史,以及西普家族在日内瓦湖地区和芝加哥历史上所发挥的重要作用。据我了解,这位导游还亲自为该历史景点做了大量研究工作,因此她才能在无需任何笔记的情况下流畅讲解,还时不时穿插一些幽默的插话。南希的家人于60年代初在距黑点庄园约一英里处购置了一处避暑别墅,因此她记得这座美丽的豪宅曾经是私人住宅。她还认识比尔·彼得森——塞普家族的最后一位后裔,后者于2005年将这座庄园捐赠给了威斯康星州。参观结束时,我们去了礼品店,在那里买到了按照原始配方酿造的啤酒(味道棒极了!),随后又游览了庄园里优美的园林。千万别错过这次游览!如果能遇到Nancy M当导游,那可真是赚到了!!!!
