Peaceful uncrowded historical monunment, nice staff but dated
San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site的点评
点评:I don't regret visiting, but was somewhat underwhelmed.
Pros: Large, well maintained memorial and grounds. You can see it from miles away, it's massive with a large reflecting pool and some walking trails. Plenty of free parking and not crowded at all. Staff were super nice and friendly, I think some of them were volunteers. There was a movie theater showing a well produced movie explaining the events and context of the San Jacinto battle once an hour. Really enjoyed the view of the surrounding area and the Houston shipping channel from the top of the memorial. I appreciated the information about what we were seeing from above, the tower was my favorite part. We also took a walk on the wooden boardwalk through the adjacent wetland and to our surprise came across a bright green snake on our path.
Cons: For what you get, the admission price seems steep at 14.00. Besides the tower and the movie, there is only one small gallery with some artifacts of the battle, paintings and dioramas. The whole place feels rather dated and the elevator to the top of the tower is old fashioned and shaky. This is clearly one of the major projects built during the great depression, and it has the feel of a museum I visited as a kid on a mandatory school field trip. I think staff is really trying to make the site more relevant, the website is absolutely beautiful. The day we visited, there was supposed to be a family day with children's activities. It was a little sad that we saw no families with younger kids, only older couples. Staff convinced us to do one of the kids' crafts and we made a pretty yellow rose of Texas out of tissue paper. The site is now surrounded entirely by refineries, which also takes away from the atmosphere.

优点:大型、维护良好的纪念馆和场地。您可以从数英里外看到它,它非常大,有一个大型倒映池和一些步行道。有很多免费停车位,一点也不拥挤。工作人员非常友好,我认为其中一些是志愿者。有一个电影院,每小时放映一次制作精良的电影,解释圣哈辛托战役的事件和背景。真的很喜欢从纪念馆顶部欣赏周边地区和休斯顿航道的景色。我很欣赏从上面看到的信息,塔楼是我最喜欢的部分。我们还在穿过相邻湿地的木板路上散步,令我们惊讶的是,我们在路上发现了一条鲜绿色的蛇。
缺点:就您所获得的内容而言,门票价格似乎很高,为 14.00。除了塔楼和电影外,只有一个小画廊,里面有一些战争文物、绘画和立体模型。整个地方给人一种相当陈旧的感觉,通往塔顶的电梯也是老式的,摇摇晃晃的。这显然是大萧条时期建造的主要项目之一,它给人的感觉就像我小时候在学校必修实地考察时参观过的博物馆。我认为工作人员确实在努力让网站更具相关性,网站非常漂亮。我们参观的那天,原本是家庭日,有儿童活动。有点难过的是,我们没有看到有年幼孩子的家庭,只有年长的夫妇。工作人员说服我们做一个儿童工艺品,我们用薄纸做了一朵漂亮的德克萨斯黄玫瑰。该地点现在完全被炼油厂包围,这也破坏了氛围。
