Visiting the William Howard Taft National Historic Site
William Howard Taft National Historic Site的点评
点评:Good trip. We arrived at approximately 9 am and made our way towards the entrance of the museum. There were several informational plaques located inside of the museum, that provided information about William Howard Taft’s family and their contributions to society. The Taft family spans five generations of individuals who have made significant contributions to public service in some way, shape or form. There was also a small theatre room that played an introductory 15 minute film about William Howard Taft. After viewing the indoor exhibits, we waited for the next available guided tour of the house. During the summer, there were guided tours being held every half hour. We followed the tour guide to the house, where we were given a quick introduction to the building and the Taft’s time in it. The tour guide took us from room to room on the first floor and told us stories about what went on in each room, while pointing out important artifacts. The guided portion of the house tour only took place on the ground floor and lasted roughly 15 minutes. The upstairs of the house was self guided and contained numerous informational plaques that went into detail about William Howard Taft’s time as president and about his early life. The informational plaques were very text heavy and took us a while to get through. There was also a short movie playing in one of the rooms about his early life. Some of the upstairs rooms were furnished. After we finished viewing the exhibits inside of the house, we left.
Tip: I recommend spending 2.5 hours here if you truly want to see everything.
翻译:旅途愉快。我们大约在上午 9 点到达,然后朝博物馆入口走去。博物馆内有几块信息牌,提供有关威廉·霍华德·塔夫脱家族及其对社会的贡献的信息。塔夫脱家族跨越五代,他们以某种方式为公共服务做出了重大贡献。还有一个小剧院,播放一部关于威廉·霍华德·塔夫脱的 15 分钟介绍电影。参观完室内展品后,我们等待下一次有导游陪同参观故居。夏季,每半小时举行一次导游陪同参观。我们跟随导游来到故居,在那里我们快速了解了这座建筑以及塔夫脱家族在里面的时光。导游带我们参观了一楼的房间,给我们讲述了每个房间里发生的事情,同时指出了重要的文物。故居参观的导游部分只在一楼进行,持续约 15 分钟。房子的楼上是自助式的,上面有许多信息牌,详细介绍了威廉·霍华德·塔夫脱担任总统期间的情况以及他的早年生活。信息牌上有很多文字,我们花了一段时间才看完。其中一个房间里还播放了一部关于他早年生活的短片。楼上的一些房间都配有家具。看完房子里的展品后,我们就离开了。
提示:如果你真的想看完所有的东西,我建议你在这里呆 2.5 小时。
