点评:As we travel from New Jersey, my wife and I make it a point to view the state capitols; this our nineteenth! Unfortunately, it was an early Sunday when our travels took us through Little Rock. We were able to tour on our own inside, as the accommodating security guards gave us the lay of the land to tour on our own. We walked the halls and were able to enter the Governor's reception room and the old Supreme court but both the Senate and House were closed; we able to view inside through the doors. It was nice to see Clinton's picture on the wall with the other Governor's, as I almost forgot his roots. The building was wonderful as its design seems familiar, with little to distinct it from other more majestic capitols. The highlight for us was the manicured grounds with its many statues, including a monument to the state's confederate soldiers, monument to confederate women, metal of honor recipients, and a wonderful statuary tribute to the Little Rock Nine! Lastly, a wonderful tribute to Gold Star families from Governor Hutchinson is located on the back side of the building.
翻译:我们从新泽西州出发,我和妻子特意参观了州议会大厦;这是我们的第十九次!不幸的是,我们经过小石城时,正好是周日的清晨。我们可以自行参观内部,因为热情的保安人员向我们介绍了地形,让我们可以自行参观。我们走过大厅,进入了州长接待室和旧最高法院,但参议院和众议院都关闭了;我们可以透过门参观内部。很高兴看到克林顿的照片挂在墙上,旁边还有另一位州长的照片,因为我几乎忘记了他的出身。这座建筑很棒,因为它的设计看起来很熟悉,与其他更雄伟的议会大厦几乎没有什么区别。对我们来说,亮点是修剪整齐的场地和许多雕像,包括该州同盟军士兵纪念碑、同盟军妇女纪念碑、荣誉勋章获得者纪念碑,以及向小石城九人致敬的精美雕像!最后,大楼后侧有哈钦森州长对金星家庭的崇高敬意。
