Stunning outdoor area, AMAZING history, nice bathrooms, and a gift shop!
Sam Houston Historic Schoolhouse的点评
点评:Best (Surprise) history of a COLORFUL Leader in a lush flower/spring/country area!
It cost $5 each to enjoy the visitor center featuring a three ( yes Three) our video of which we watched half, but it was riveting!
Sam Houston had a challenging childhood, left home at 16 and lived on an island with Cherokee Indians for three years, we had no idea he was an alcoholic, bipolar, married three times (1 was a woman from the reservation that he didn’t officially marry).
He was BFF with Andrew Jackson, learned how to lance and drain his own war wounds, & of course, as we know was an incredibly brave soldier, leader, rebel-rouser & later the father of eight amazing kids.
The grounds are spectacular in beauty, quiet, and even a natural spring with meandering foot paths.
You can’t actually walk into the school house as a chain prohibits you from entering, but you can see in from 3 sides.
Surprisingly, it’s only like 15 minutes max from the Knoxville airport so do have our time as this was one of the best history museums we’ve been in. Clean bathrooms and they sell knickknacks & a very sweet woman with agreed southern draw was so kind.
翻译:一位色彩缤纷的领袖在繁花似锦、春光明媚、乡村风光中,拥有一段精彩绝伦的历史(真是惊喜!)!
参观游客中心需要花费每人5美元,中心内有三段视频(没错,就是三段),我们只看了一半,但这段视频真的非常引人入胜!
萨姆·休斯顿的童年充满挑战,16岁离家,在岛上与切罗基印第安人生活了三年。我们完全不知道他酗酒、患有躁郁症,结过三次婚(其中一段是来自印第安保留地的女子,但他并没有正式结婚)。
他是安德鲁·杰克逊的挚友,学会了如何用刀刺破和引流自己的战争伤口。当然,正如我们所知,他是一位无比勇敢的士兵、领袖、叛乱煽动者,后来成为八个优秀孩子的父亲。
校园风景秀丽、环境宁静,甚至还有一眼天然泉水,溪水蜿蜒曲折。
学校被锁链锁着,无法直接进入,但可以从三个方向观察。
令人惊讶的是,距离诺克斯维尔机场最多只有 15 分钟的路程,所以我们确实有时间参观,因为这是我们去过的最好的历史博物馆之一。浴室很干净,他们出售小摆设,还有一位非常和蔼可亲、具有南方风情的女士非常友善。
