Experience the Stories of Pioneer Spirit that Made the West
Nez Perce County Historical Society & Museum的点评
点评:This museum and historical section of Lewiston are a must see when you are in town.
First, explore the historic trolley, the buildings and interpretive signage that you'll find across the street and around the museum itself.
Once you enter the museum, you are welcomed by friendly staff and volunteers. My wife and I had a few genealogical questions for the staff members, and they were most welcoming and prepared to assist with access to their historical resources. A note for others doing similar research - call ahead to confirm they have access at your preferred time and to arrange for an appointment to utilize their records.
As is the case with most smaller historical museums, the New Perce museum had so many great exhibits that they could use a larger venue. But don't read that this building is crowded or cramped. It's just you get the idea that there's so much to share and only so much space. I found the exhibits to be informative and quite interesting. A plus is that all of their exhibits feature a QR code for additional information.
With a modest admission fee, and a micro-focus on local history in and around Nez Perce County, there are all kinds of reasons for you to visit this gem. As we did, plan on spending a few hours to enjoy the pieces of history here in this river town.
翻译:当您来到刘易斯顿时,这个博物馆和历史区是必看的景点。
首先,探索历史悠久的有轨电车、建筑物和解说标牌,它们位于街对面和博物馆周围。
进入博物馆后,友好的工作人员和志愿者会热情欢迎您。我和妻子向工作人员询问了几个家谱问题,他们非常热情,并准备帮助您获取他们的历史资源。对于进行类似研究的其他人,请注意 - 提前打电话确认他们可以在您喜欢的时间进入,并安排预约使用他们的记录。
与大多数小型历史博物馆一样,新佩塞博物馆拥有如此多的精彩展品,以至于他们可以使用更大的场地。但不要认为这栋建筑很拥挤或狭窄。您只是觉得有太多东西可以分享,但空间有限。我发现这些展品信息丰富且非常有趣。一个优点是,他们所有的展品都带有二维码,以便获取更多信息。
门票价格适中,而且重点关注内兹珀斯县及其周边的当地历史,有各种各样的理由让您参观这个瑰宝。就像我们一样,计划花几个小时来欣赏这个河畔小镇的历史。
