点评:The Oaks is an historic house from 1875 which was once in the centre of 5000 acres of apple orchards. Now it is in a car park for Walmart. Plenty of parking.
The house was built by Congressman Peel and now houses The Peel Museum, a collection Victorian relics in reconstructed Victorian rooms.
Interesting guided tour, which starts every 30 minutes from Tuesday to Saturday inclusive. regulator intervals. Loved the story behind the "dating candle". He had until the candle burnt down to woo the young woman of the house. The candle height could be set by the chaperone! The unsuitable had a shorter time.
The house is surrounded by a small botanical garden divided into distinctly styled garden rooms. Magnificent blooms of white hydrangeas.
The ice house is fascinating. Ice was cut from the Great Lakes and shipped to Arkansas to be stored in the underground chamber of he ice house for use throughout the summer.
.. No change but donations are appreciated.
翻译:橡树庄园是一座建于1875年的历史建筑,曾经坐落在5000英亩苹果园的中心。如今,它位于沃尔玛的停车场内,停车位充足。
这座房子由国会议员皮尔建造,现在是皮尔博物馆的所在地,馆内收藏着维多利亚时代的文物,房间也按照维多利亚风格进行了重建。
这里有有趣的导览游,从周二到周六,每30分钟一班,间隔时间固定。我特别喜欢“约会蜡烛”背后的故事。据说,皮尔议员必须在蜡烛燃尽之前追求庄园里的年轻女子。蜡烛的高度可以由陪同人员控制!不合适的人时间会缩短。
庄园周围环绕着一个小型植物园,园内划分成风格各异的花园区域。白色绣球花盛开,美不胜收。
冰窖令人着迷。冰块从五大湖区切割下来,运到阿肯色州,储存在冰窖的地下,供整个夏季使用。
