点评:Our docent-guided tour was very interesting and historically based. There is a brief pre-tour introduction. After which our guide (Ben) walked us through the building and provided an excellent narrative. This was Jefferson Davis’ home (and basically the seat of the Confederacy) for the length of the Civil War. Super interesting was how most of the interior furnishings are the actual items that were original to the house. When the Union Army took over the building, most of the furnishings were sold off. Back then, very accurate records were maintained. Eventually when the building was in disrepair and saved, the records were found and most items were returned to the house. Fascinating! If you are remotely interested in Civil War history, I highly recommend the time spent here (and the American Civil War Museum. A sister facility.
翻译:我们由讲解员带领的参观过程非常有趣,且富有历史底蕴。参观前有一个简短的介绍环节。随后,我们的导游(本)带领我们游览了整栋建筑,并进行了精彩的讲解。在美国内战期间,这里一直是杰弗逊·戴维斯的住所(基本上可算是南方联盟的总部)。最有趣的是,屋内的多数家具都是最初就存在于此的原物。当联邦军队接管这座建筑时……大部分家具都被卖掉了。当时人们做了非常详细的记录。后来,当这座建筑年久失修且得到修复后,那些记录被重新发现,大部分物品也都被送回了房子里。真是妙不可言!如果你对美国南北战争的历史有一丝兴趣,我强烈推荐你来这里参观(还有美国南北战争博物馆,那是它的姊妹馆)。
