点评:Cool historic house, small, free to tour, also serves as a welcome center to Lewes. They have an info counter & shop of sorts in the entryway, then a little circular "tour route" through the ground floor of the house off to the right. They gave us a guide for this but I really would have been better off just reading the signs, there were plenty and the space was small enough (the house is from the 1600s!) that adding another person to the group felt crowded. The exhibits focus on the life of War of 1812 naval hero Jacob Jones who commanded USS Wasp - and also lived in this house as a child. The exhibits were informative. I would have liked to see more on the architecture of the house, since they did have portions of the wall partially opened so you could see the multiple layers of construction done throughout the past 300+ years. Overall this was a great quick stop on our walk from the Lewes Historical Society's Lewes Maritime Museum at Cannonball House down to the Lewes Historical Society Main Campus off Shipcarpenter Street. I recommend sticking your head in here for a few minutes if on foot or just arriving in Lewes and looking for a place to start your adventure.
翻译:很酷的历史建筑,很小,免费参观,也是刘易斯的接待中心。他们在入口处有一个信息柜台和商店,然后是一条穿过房子一楼的圆形“游览路线”,就在右边。他们给了我们一份指南,但我还是最好只看标志,因为标志很多,而且空间很小(房子建于 17 世纪!),再加一个人就感觉很拥挤。展览主要讲述了 1812 年战争海军英雄雅各布·琼斯的生平,他指挥了 USS Wasp - 小时候也住在这所房子里。展览很有教育意义。我希望能更多地了解房子的建筑,因为他们确实有部分墙壁是部分打开的,这样你就可以看到过去 300 多年里多层的建筑。总的来说,这是我们从刘易斯历史学会刘易斯海事博物馆的 Cannonball House 步行到刘易斯历史学会主校区 Shipcarpenter 街的途中短暂停留的好地方。如果您步行或刚到达刘易斯并想找个地方开始您的冒险之旅,我建议您在这里停留几分钟。
