An Excellent Tour of a Very Historical Place
Butler-McCook Homestead的点评
点评：My husband and I visited the Butler-McCook House and Gardens in Hartford, Connecticut on Saturday June 3, 2023, taking the 1:00 PM guided house tour. This interesting historic landmark is part of Connecticut Landmarks, a group of historic homes located throughout Connecticut. We found out about these homes because they recently were added to the list of NARM Museums in Connecticut, which is quite exciting!
The guided house tour was a nice walk back through time and was quite interesting, being a very good way to learn about the family members who lived in the house, the time period that they lived there and the house architecture, both inside and outside. Our tour guide, Jana, gave an excellent tour. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and informative, and provided us with great details about the house and the people that lived there. She pointed out the unique features about the house and about the family who lived in it for four generations, 189 years.
The furniture and furnishings, including very nice paintings and toys, were authentic and original to the house and definitely well-preserved and being of high quality. I definitely liked the beautiful sofa that was nicely restored after it was badly destroyed when a SUV plowed into the house in 2002, as well as the other collections of items/objects throughout the house, including a very nice toy collection.
The guided house tour took about 1 hour. It was great that we were able to take pictures inside the house, making for a lot of nice memories
I also liked the separate Main Street History Center portion/section of the house. This section consisted of exhibits that provided very good information on early Hartford, in particular on living and working on Main Street in Hartford with write-ups about the houses, their architecture, and the many businesses as well as the many changes that took place throughout the years on Main Street. This section was definitely quite educational.
The unique flower gardens were beautiful at the time of our visit with everything being in full bloom. They were definitely well cared for and nice to take a lot of photos of. The grounds are well-maintained and quite impressive. We toured the gardens in a self-guided tour both before and after our guided house tour.
In total. our tour of the house, its grounds, and the History Center, took a little less than an hour and a half. It is both very surprising and quite nice that this house and its surrounding grounds still exists on Main Street. It is definitely very unique and an interesting part of Main Street and of history in general.
We were also quite fortunate to be able to park at 59 South Prospect Street, just before the Amos Bull House, the Connecticut Landmark Headquarters, heading south down South Prospect Street, at the time of our visit. This parking lot maybe easy to miss, but I believe it was brick, and it looked like there was only room for a few cars. However, I am not certain if that is the case because we did not have any problems finding a space to park at the time of our visit. .
We recommend a visit to this house, especially if you like historic places. We hope that you have the opportunity to enjoy it as much as we did. We look forward to going to more of the historic homes that are part of Connecticut Landmarks.

翻译：2023 年 6 月 3 日星期六，我和丈夫参观了位于康涅狄格州哈特福德的巴特勒-麦库克故居和花园，并参加了下午 1:00 的导游陪同参观。这个有趣的历史地标是康涅狄格地标的一部分，康涅狄格地标是一组遍布康涅狄格州的历史住宅。我们发现这些房屋是因为它们最近被添加到康涅狄格州的 NARM 博物馆列表中，这非常令人兴奋！
带导游的房屋参观是一次很好的穿越时光之旅，非常有趣，是了解住在房子里的家庭成员、他们住在那里的时间段以及房子内部和外部建筑的一个很好的方式。我们的导游 Jana 给我们带来了一次很棒的旅行。她非常友好、知识渊博、信息丰富，为我们提供了有关房子和住在那里的人的详细信息。她指出了这所房子以及居住在其中四代、189 年的家庭的独特之处。
家具和陈设，包括非常漂亮的画作和玩具，都是房子的正品和原创，而且绝对保存完好，质量上乘。我非常喜欢那张漂亮的沙发，2002 年一辆 SUV 冲进这所房子时，它被严重毁坏，现在又被很好地修复了，还有房子里的其他物品/物品收藏，包括一个非常漂亮的玩具收藏。
导游带领的房屋参观大约需要1小时。很高兴我们能够在房子里拍照，留下很多美好的回忆
我也喜欢房子的独立主街历史中心部分/部分。该部分的展品提供了有关早期哈特福德的非常好的信息，特别是有关哈特福德大街上的生活和工作的信息，并附有有关房屋、建筑、许多企业以及整个过程中发生的许多变化的文章。大街上的岁月。这一部分绝对是很有教育意义的。
我们参观时，独特的花园非常美丽，一切都盛开着。他们绝对得到了很好的照顾，而且很适合拍很多照片。场地维护得很好而且令人印象深刻。在导游带领的房屋参观之前和之后，我们都在自助游中参观了花园。
总共。我们参观了这座房子、它的庭院和历史中心，花了不到一个半小时。这座房子及其周围的场地仍然存在于大街上，这既令人惊讶又非常好。它绝对是主街和整个历史中非常独特且有趣的一部分。
在我们参观时，我们也很幸运能够将车停在南展望街 59 号，就在康涅狄格州地标性总部阿莫斯公牛屋之前，沿着南展望街向南行驶。这个停车场可能很容易错过，但我相信它是砖砌的，看起来只能停几辆车。然而，我不确定情况是否如此，因为我们在访问时找到停车位没有遇到任何问题。 。
我们建议您参观这座房子，特别是如果您喜欢历史名胜的话。我们希望您有机会像我们一样享受它。我们期待着参观更多属于康涅狄格州地标的历史悠久的住宅。
