点评:We live in Illinois so Abraham Lincoln was always my favorite president. But after reading Hamilton and Washington by Ron Chernow, I became fascinated with George Washington. I planned a trip to Philadelphia to see all the history that city held and I was hoping I could talk my husband into going to Ft. Necessity on the way home and he was more than happy to do it.
It was a quiet day with only a few other visitors. We enjoyed the movie and the exhibits. They have a wonderful playground to entertain the young ones. I've never seen a historical park have anything like that before.
It's a short walk from the visitor's center to the reconstructed fort. My husband uses a cane and was able to walk to it.
It's so thrilling for me to see the places I've only read about in a book. It made it all come alive for me.
Well worth the time. Plus, General Braddock's grave is only a little ways away. Beautiful drive here on the National Road (Hwy 40).
翻译:我们住在伊利诺伊州,所以亚伯拉罕·林肯一直是我最喜欢的总统。但在读了罗恩·切尔诺的《汉密尔顿和华盛顿》后,我对乔治·华盛顿着迷了。我计划去费城看看这座城市的历史,我希望我能说服我丈夫在回家的路上去一趟必需堡,他非常乐意这么做。
那天很安静,只有几个游客。我们喜欢看电影和看展览。他们有一个很棒的游乐场来娱乐孩子们。我以前从未见过历史公园有这样的东西。
从游客中心到重建的堡垒只需走一小段路。我丈夫拄着拐杖,可以走到那里。
看到我只在书中读到过的地方,我感到很激动。它让我感觉一切都活了过来。
非常值得。此外,布拉多克将军的坟墓就在不远处。沿着国家公路 (40 号高速公路) 开车过去很美。
