点评:We visited here as part of our road trip across North Dakota in the summer of 2023. Being a history buff and being from PA, I was happy to see such a great Lewis & Clark related attraction on our trip. The combination of the modern museum at the Interpretive Center and the separate tour of nearby Fort Mandan made for an excellent visitor experience for us.
The exhibits in the museum were well done and engaging; great information about Lewis & Clark’s time in this area was presented here, as well as beautiful artwork by artist Michael Haynes. After touring the galleries, a short drive took us to the replica of Fort Mandan, where we enjoyed an excellent one-hour tour by Shannon; she was very knowledgeable and engaging and gave us a thorough overview of life at the fort for the soldiers and staff as she showed us the various furnished soldiers’ quarters. There were also some good exhibits at the Visitor Center at the fort as well. (Be sure to apply insect repellant if visiting in the summertime; we were attacked by swarms of mosquitos the entire time we were at the fort.)
Between the two parts of this attraction, we spent 2.5 hours and enjoyed every minute of it. There is plentiful free parking at both sites, and admission is very reasonable. If you are a history buff seeking a stellar visitor experience, this site is highly recommended.
翻译:2023 年夏天,我们驾车穿越北达科他州,途中来到这里游玩。作为一名历史爱好者,并且来自宾夕法尼亚州,我很高兴在旅途中看到如此棒的刘易斯和克拉克相关景点。解说中心的现代博物馆和附近曼丹堡的单独游览相结合,为我们带来了绝佳的游客体验。
博物馆的展品制作精良,引人入胜;这里展示了刘易斯和克拉克在该地区生活的大量信息,以及艺术家迈克尔·海恩斯的精美艺术品。参观完画廊后,我们驱车前往曼丹堡的复制品,在那里我们享受了香农一小时的精彩游览;她知识渊博,很有魅力,向我们全面介绍了堡垒中士兵和工作人员的生活,并向我们展示了各种带家具的士兵宿舍。堡垒的游客中心也有一些不错的展品。 (如果在夏天参观,请务必使用驱虫剂;我们在城堡的整个时间都被成群的蚊子袭击了。)
我们在这个景点的两个部分花了 2.5 个小时,每一分钟都很享受。两个景点都有充足的免费停车位,门票也很合理。如果您是一位寻求绝佳游客体验的历史爱好者,强烈推荐这个地方。
