点评:Great trip. We arrived at approximately 9:30 am and made our way towards the entrance of the museum. After paying the admission fee, we received a quick overview of the site and went on our way. We opted to view some of the outdoor exhibits first, which included the guard house and press house. The press house contained multiple informational plaques about President Hardings wife and her contributions to society. After viewing the press house, we made our way to the front porch of the house, where we waited for the 10 am guided hour tour to begin. There were guided tours of the presidents former house being held every hour throughout the day. The guided tour of the house was very informational, and the tour guide took us from room to room, while pointing out interesting features and artifacts out for display. The tour guide told us several personal stories related to the Hardings time at the house. The guided tour lasted roughly 1 hour.
After viewing the house, we went back inside to view the main exhibits. We opted to watch a short documentary about President Hardings life and some of the trials and tribulations he faced during his time as President. There were multiple informational plaques out for display, many of them quite text heavy, that went into detail about Hardings upbringing and roots as the owner of a newspaper company in Marion. The plaques also talked about election day, and several of the policy’s Harding implemented while in office. The last section of the museum dealt with his death and some controversial issues that surrounded his presidency. There were multiple artifacts out for display in the museum, along with short video clips that related to President Harding's time in office.
Tip: I recommend spending 3 hours here if you truly want to see everything.
翻译:很棒的旅行。我们大约在上午 9:30 到达,然后朝博物馆入口走去。支付入场费后,我们快速浏览了一下现场,然后继续前行。我们选择先参观一些户外展品,包括警卫室和新闻室。新闻室包含多个关于哈丁总统妻子及其对社会贡献的信息牌。参观完新闻室后,我们来到房子的前廊,在那里等待 10 点的导游开始。全天每小时都有一次总统故居的导游。房子的导游非常有信息量,导游带我们从一个房间到另一个房间,同时指出有趣的特色和展示的文物。导游给我们讲了几个与哈丁夫妇在房子里的时间有关的个人故事。导游持续了大约 1 小时。
看完房子后,我们回到里面观看主要展品。我们选择观看一部关于哈丁总统生平的短纪录片,以及他在担任总统期间所面临的一些考验和磨难。博物馆内展出了多块信息牌匾,其中许多都包含大量文字,详细介绍了哈丁作为马里恩一家报业公司老板的成长经历和根源。这些牌匾还谈到了选举日,以及哈丁在任期间实施的几项政策。博物馆的最后一部分涉及他的死亡和围绕他担任总统的一些有争议的问题。博物馆内展出了多件文物,以及与哈丁总统任职期间有关的短片。
提示:如果您真的想看完所有内容,我建议您在这里花 3 个小时。
