点评:We were there to see the house, not the Maine Historical Society. We bought a $10 ticket and then were told that we had to pay another $5 to see the house. Maybe the staff should ask visitors? Then we were told we had to wait 40 minutes to see the house because a guided tour was underway and we couldn't join it. When we finally were able to go in the house, we were told we had to download an app to get a self-guided tour that would play aloud. So if you don't have a smartphone, no info for you.
The rooms had no information posted for visitors to read. Oh but wait, they did have dozens of labels on furniture written in wordy, silly prose telling you not to touch or sit on anything. After about the 5th jokey label, it stopped being funny or cute. Here's an idea-- why not put some labels with actual useful, interesting historical facts about Longfellow and his family. The staff we met was unhelpful and unfriendly, EXCEPT for one lovely woman upstairs who was knowledgeable and happy to share history about the house and Longfellow. Overall, our experience was negative and could have been great if rooms had better displays, and some of the staff were more helpful.
翻译:我们来这里是为了看房子,而不是缅因州历史学会。我们买了一张 10 美元的票,然后被告知我们必须再付 5 美元才能看房子。也许工作人员应该问游客?然后我们被告知我们必须等 40 分钟才能看到房子,因为导游正在进行,我们不能加入。当我们终于能够进入房子时,我们被告知必须下载一个应用程序才能获得一个可以大声播放的自助游。所以如果你没有智能手机,就没有任何信息给你。
房间里没有张贴任何信息供游客阅读。哦,但是等等,家具上确实有几十个标签,用冗长、愚蠢的散文写着,告诉你不要触摸或坐在任何东西上。大约在第 5 个搞笑标签之后,它就不再有趣或可爱了。这里有一个想法——为什么不贴一些标签,上面写一些关于朗费罗和他的家人的实际有用、有趣的历史事实。我们遇到的工作人员既不乐于助人也不友好,只有楼上一位可爱的女士例外,她知识渊博,乐于分享关于这座房子和朗费罗的历史。总的来说,我们的体验很糟糕,如果房间里的陈列品更好一些,一些工作人员更乐于助人,我们的体验会更好。
