点评:We had admission to the Fort, so we also stopped here (and the nearby Blacksmith).
In some ways the exhibits were a little dense/dry, and if you are not into this particular period of history it may not be as interesting to you, and my kids were a bit harder to engage, but I did find some things to be intrigued by that I looked up later. This was the house of the Biddles, an important family in the history of Mackinac (in particular Agatha Biddle, a woman of mixed indigenous and French descent). The house also has a Native American museum and so there are multiple exhibits about the history of the Natives in the area (which should not be forgotten) as well as the intersection of French, British, Native and American culture that occurred here.
I also found the stories of both Agatha Biddle and Magdelaine Framboise (another Native/French woman who was a prominent figure in Mackinac society, business and religious life) to be quite interesting.
翻译:我们有进入堡垒的门票,所以我们也在这里停留了(以及附近的铁匠铺)。
从某种程度上说,这些展品有点密集/枯燥,如果你对这段特定的历史时期不感兴趣,那么对你来说可能就没那么有趣了,我的孩子也有点难以理解,但我确实发现了一些让我感兴趣的东西,我后来查了一下。这是比德尔家族的房子,比德尔家族是麦基诺历史上一个重要的家族(尤其是阿加莎·比德尔,一位混血土著和法国血统的女性)。这座房子里还有一个美洲原住民博物馆,所以有多个关于该地区土著人历史的展品(不应该忘记),以及这里发生的法国、英国、土著和美国文化的交汇。
我还发现阿加莎·比德尔和玛格德莱娜·弗朗博伊斯(另一位在麦基诺社会、商业和宗教生活中具有突出地位的土著/法国女性)的故事相当有趣。
