点评:The tour is about an hour and the tour guide, Danielle, was fabulous. She walked us through the few rooms in the house while telling us about the fascinating building, artwork, furniture. The Lizzie Borden discussion took place in the room with the Borden artifacts. We really didn’t learn anything new, but it was still very enjoyable. The Borden items on display were interesting, but it was difficult to listen and view the display case items at the same time. There was a nice little gift shop, including many books on Lizzie Borden that I wasn’t familiar with. We thought we’d be able to explore the house on our own and then participate in the tour, but when we went visited we could only walk about the gift shop, the second floor Christmas shop and the building grounds on our own. The three rooms on the first floor of the house (including the Lizzie Borden room) were roped off and we were unable to enter until the tour began. A fourth room, the Music Room, but was closed off due to a project. Regardless of the size, the tour is well worth it and I would recommend a visit.
We were told that FRHS hasn’t returned to its full schedule yet due to the pandemic (volunteers didn’t return), as well as upcoming renovations to the building. I hope to return after renovations are completed and they’re back up to full speed again. The Lizzie Borden items are displayed on a rotating basis so I hope to see different items on subsequent visits. FYI: photos and video not allowed on the tour.
翻译:这次旅行大约一个小时,导游丹妮尔很棒。她带我们参观了房子里的几个房间,同时向我们介绍了迷人的建筑、艺术品和家具。 Lizzie Borden 的讨论是在有 Borden 手工艺品的房间里进行的。我们确实没有学到任何新东西,但仍然非常愉快。展示的 Borden 物品很有趣,但很难同时收听和查看展示柜的物品。那里有一家不错的小礼品店,里面有很多我不熟悉的关于莉齐波登的书。本以为可以自己逛完房子再参加参观,但去参观的时候只能自己逛逛礼品店、二楼圣诞店和建筑场地。房子一楼的三个房间(包括 Lizzie Borden 房间)被用绳子隔开,直到参观开始我们才能进入。第四个房间,音乐室,但由于一个项目而被关闭。无论大小,这次旅行都非常值得,我会推荐参观。
我们被告知,由于大流行病(志愿者没有返回)以及即将对建筑物进行翻新,FRHS 尚未恢复到完整的时间表。我希望在装修完成并且他们再次全速运行后返回。 Lizzie Borden 商品轮流展示,因此我希望在以后的访问中看到不同的商品。仅供参考:旅游不允许照片和视频。
