点评:I had heard about the Foxfire books ever since I was a kid. They ranked up there with the Farmer’s Almanac and other books that were resources of what should be common sense information before the internet came into being. Now I have a whole new respect for them. I stopped by because of the road signs as I was visiting the Black Rock Mountain visitor’s center and viewing area higher up the mountain from this site. All I can say is…Wow. What an amazing place. It was built from the proceeds of the famous Foxfire articles and books about rural Appalachian life and ways. There are over 21 sites on property and each one could have a review on them. Each of the buildings has an informational sign and history that makes them fascinating in their own right. There is a large gravel parking lot and a visitors center. The entire tour took me about an hour but you could spend a lot more time here learning a lot about all of it. The grounds were all clean and well kept and many, if not most, of the buildings were designed to be walked inside with more informational displays on the walls. The staff consisted of one person at the first building on the path which serves as the entrance and gift shop with bathrooms right behind it. I highly recommend this if you want to learn about the Appalachian history and way of life. I found it fascinating and hope you will too. Enjoy.
翻译:我从小就听说过 Foxfire 书籍。它们与《农民年鉴》和其他书籍一起排名,这些书籍是互联网出现之前应该成为常识信息的资源。现在我对他们有了全新的尊重。当我参观黑石山游客中心和从该地点到山上更高的观景区时,我因为路标而停下来。我只能说……哇。多么神奇的地方啊。它是利用著名的 Foxfire 文章和有关阿巴拉契亚乡村生活和生活方式的书籍的收益建造的。该物业有超过 21 个网站,每个网站都可以对其进行评论。每栋建筑都有信息标志和历史,使其本身就令人着迷。有一个大型碎石停车场和一个游客中心。整个旅行花了我大约一个小时,但你可以在这里花更多的时间来了解所有这一切。场地都很干净,维护得很好,许多(如果不是大多数)建筑物都被设计成可以步行进去,墙上有更多的信息显示。工作人员由一个人组成,位于道路上的第一栋建筑中,该建筑用作入口和礼品店,后面设有浴室。如果您想了解阿巴拉契亚历史和生活方式,我强烈推荐这个。我发现它很有趣,希望你也一样。享受。
