点评:In April 2023, there was a special event to commemorate Ron Ames, who was a donor to the museum and a very active volunteer at the museum.
When I arrived, there were five volunteers running the special event to honor Ron. As I signed the guestbook, I learned that a friend through whom I’d met Ron had just left.
The volunteer named Shea conducted a tour of the exhibits and pointed out Ron’s many contributions in the forms of artwork, carpentry, created props, donated items, a costume, and arranged exhibits.
The first item was the red velvet outfit on a mannequin near the admissions desk. Ron made it for Frank C. Frisbee III to wear when he portrayed his ancestor, Sir William Pepperrell, a very important figure in Kittery’s history and for whom Pepperrell Cove was named.
The exhibit on Frisbee’s Market and other items connected to the Frisbee family was arranged by Ron.
One of the most striking things Ron created was the artificial food in multiple exhibits. His work on numerous food items from pancakes, a plate of cooked vegetables, and a cooked chicken to a loaf of bread and bowls of succotash and creamed peas in the garrison house were extremely realistic and not the poor excuses for food that one normally sees in displays. The reason for such realism was that Mr. Ames had worked in New York City on Broadway productions for many years in Theatrical Design, creating costumes, making sets, and making props.
Also in the Garrison House, there is a set of antique tankards/mugs that Mr. Ames bought and donated to the museum.
There is even the steam wheel from the USS Franklin which was the flagship of Admiral David Farragut.
The Kittery Historical & Naval Museum is fortunate to have so many items from Ron Ames and so many artfully-arranged displays. The museum has benefitted from the various aspects of his fabulous artistic talents. He was even active in local theater productions ~ sometimes as a cast member.
I rate the Kittery Historical & Naval Museum at 5.0 and highly recommend a visit.

翻译:2023年4月,举办了一场特别活动来纪念罗恩·艾姆斯(Ron Ames),他是博物馆的捐赠者,也是博物馆非常活跃的志愿者。
当我到达时,有五名志愿者正在举办这次特别活动来纪念罗恩。当我在留言簿上签名时,我得知我认识罗恩的一位朋友刚刚离开。
名叫谢伊的志愿者参观了展品,并指出罗恩在艺术品、木工、制作道具、捐赠物品、服装和布置展品等方面的许多贡献。
第一件物品是招生台附近的人体模型上的红色天鹅绒服装。罗恩为弗兰克·C·弗里斯比三世 (Frank C. Frisbee III) 制作了这件衣服,供他在描绘自己的祖先威廉·佩珀雷尔爵士 (Sir William Pepperrell) 时佩戴。威廉·佩珀雷尔爵士 (Sir William Pepperrell) 是基特里 (Kittery) 历史上非常重要的人物,佩珀雷尔湾 (Pepperrell Cove) 就是以他的名字命名的。
飞盘市场上的展览和其他与飞盘家族有关的物品是由罗恩安排的。
罗恩创造的最引人注目的东西之一是多个展览中的人造食品。他对许多食物的创作,从煎饼、一盘煮熟的蔬菜、一只煮熟的鸡肉到一条面包、几碗豆科塔什和奶油豌豆,都非常现实,而不是人们通常在食物中看到的糟糕借口。显示。之所以如此真实,是因为艾姆斯先生曾在纽约百老汇作品的戏剧设计领域工作多年,负责制作服装、布景和道具。
此外,在加里森大厦 (Garrison House) 中,还有艾姆斯先生购买并捐赠给博物馆的一套古董酒杯/马克杯。
甚至还有来自大卫·法拉格特海军上将旗舰富兰克林号航空母舰的蒸汽轮。
基特里历史与海军博物馆很幸运,拥有罗恩·艾姆斯 (Ron Ames) 的众多藏品以及精心布置的展品。博物馆从他非凡的艺术才华的各个方面受益匪浅。他甚至活跃于当地的戏剧制作中——有时作为演员。
我对基特里历史和海军博物馆的评分为 5.0,强烈推荐参观。
