点评:It is the oldest operating gin in America, designated as a National Historic Landmark, in its original setting located in a Burton, TX, a small community oriented town.
Upon arrival tours are ushered into the cotton museum for an oral history, a short film, and exploring exhibits. The museum focuses on the surrounding communities harvesting cotton. No mention of the relationship of the grueling hardships of slavery and slave produced cotton.
When the tour shifts to the gin, you’ll stand in wonder at the industrial building. A small cotton garden, an old industrial cotton scale, An old wagon filled with cotton and a tractor adorn the exterior of the building.
The Smithsonian and the National Trust for Historic Plaque plaque is on the exterior wall.
The staff work hard at preserving the building. The 1925 Bessemer twin -type IV oil engine powers the gin twice a year. It’s great honoring yesteryear.
翻译:这是美国最古老的轧棉机,被指定为国家历史地标,其原始位置位于德克萨斯州伯顿的一个小型社区镇。
抵达后,游客将被带入棉花博物馆,了解口述历史、观看短片和探索展品。博物馆主要介绍周边社区的棉花采摘情况。没有提到奴隶制的艰苦条件和奴隶生产的棉花之间的关系。
当游览转移到轧棉机时,您会惊叹于工业建筑。一个小棉花园、一个旧的工业棉花秤、一辆装满棉花的旧马车和一辆拖拉机装饰着建筑的外部。
史密森尼和国家历史信托基金会的牌匾在外墙上。
工作人员努力保护这座建筑。1925 年的贝塞麦双 IV 型油发动机每年两次为轧棉机提供动力。这是对往昔的致敬。
