Beautiful location and an excellent museum with very well done interpretive displays.
Donner Memorial State Park的点评
点评:The actual monument to the Donner Party is located about 75 yards from the museum which is now in a beautiful new building with restrooms, AC/Heat, a great gift shop and friendly staff. The displays are informative and have many actual artifacts from the Donner Party and also from the building of the Transcontinental Railroad, which took place on the same mountain pass. We found it interesting and stimulating in learning about the Pioneer wagon trains, Donner Party, Chinese laborers on the railroad, and eventual development of the highways and roads over the mountains that enabled migration during the Depression, expansion of vacation opportunities, commerce and recreational activities. Highly recommended for all ages.
翻译:真正的唐纳探险队纪念碑位于博物馆约75码远的地方。如今的博物馆坐落在一栋崭新的漂亮建筑里,内设洗手间、冷暖空调、一家很棒的礼品店,还有热情友善的工作人员。馆内的陈列内容丰富且富有教育意义,展示了许多来自唐纳探险队的实物,以及在同一山口地段修建横贯大陆铁路时的各种文物。参观过程中,我们对于早期的拓荒者马车队以及唐纳探险队有了不少有趣的了解,收获颇丰。修建铁路的中国劳工,以及后来穿越山脉的公路与道路的建成——这些都促成了大萧条时期的人口迁移,也推动了度假机会、商业和娱乐活动的兴盛。无论老少都值得一读,强烈推荐!
