点评:I visited Old Sturbridge Village for the Rebels and Redcoats event where the village was full of Revolutionary War reenactors. They camped on the green and at various places in the village. A reenacted battle took place in the afternoon. This event is a particularly good weekend to visit, though the village was the most crowded I have ever seen. The Christmas by Candlelight events in November/December are also really nice though cold.
The interpreters, reenactors, and craftsman are always great. They are always happy to talk to visitors and answer questions. The potters and blacksmiths are especially good.
The village is great to visit even on normal days, and is much less crowded. Events vary every week. My visit last week was 5.5 hours. On a more typical day, about 3 - 4 hours is a good time budget. Add more if you want a meal.
Food at the village is good, particularly in the Bullard Tavern but also at other locations. The chicken pot pie is especially good. Prices are reasonable, except for the coffee which is more expensive than Starbucks.
The village has a nice store with large amounts of the previously mentioned pottery. They also have many other items and a bakery attached.
The best deal is to be a member. Membership pays for itself in 2 - 3 visits. Members get discounts at the store, for food, and for ticketed special events. Membership also gets reciprocal discounts at other museums.
The only thing I miss is that they used to have a flat-bottom boat that took visitors around on the river. The dock is still there but the boat is gone. It would be great if they brought that back.
翻译:我去老斯特布里奇村参加了“叛军与红衣军”活动,村里挤满了独立战争重演者。他们在草坪上和村里的各个地方扎营。下午还进行了一场重演的战役。这次活动是一个特别适合周末游玩的地方,尽管村里是我见过最拥挤的。11月/12月的烛光圣诞活动也非常棒,虽然天气很冷。
解说员、重演者和工匠们总是很棒。他们总是乐于与游客交谈并解答问题。陶工和铁匠尤其技艺精湛。
即使在平常的日子里,这个村庄也非常适合游览,而且人流要少得多。每周的活动都不一样。我上周的游玩时间是5.5小时。在更普通的日子里,3-4小时左右比较合适。如果您想用餐,可以延长时间。
村里的食物很棒,尤其是在布拉德酒馆,但其他地方也有。鸡肉馅饼尤其美味。价格合理,除了咖啡比星巴克贵。
村里有一家不错的商店,里面有很多前面提到的陶器。他们还有很多其他商品,还有一家面包店。
最划算的是成为会员。会员费2-3次就能收回。会员在商店、餐饮和特殊活动门票上都能享受折扣。会员在其他博物馆也能享受相应的折扣。
我唯一怀念的是他们以前有一艘平底船,可以载游客在河上游览。码头还在,但船不见了。如果他们能把那艘船带回来就太好了。
