点评:This is located off the beaten path. It is associated with the Elliott museum and is located about 2 miles or a 5 minute car ride from the main museum. You can buy a combination ticket to see the Elliott and the House of Refuge museum. I think that is the best deal. You can coordinate for a museum staff member to drive you over and back. It was a good deal and very convenient. I would recommend going to the Elliott first and then the House of Refuge. You could drive yourself but there are very few parking spaces at the Refuge. The house is the only one of the original 10 houses built by Florida to helped shipwrecked people along Florida’s east Coast. You enter through the house by the small parking lot. The staff was very friendly. The entrance house serves as a ticket booth, a waiting area and a gift shop all in one. The small set of structures is located right on the beach and offers a lovely view. They have you start at the third house where a volunteer shows a movie and then describes more about the history of the people and the structures. The next house has individual rooms that describe each period in the history of the house. Overall, it was a very nice visit to a structure that is key in describing the true initial Coast Guard history.
翻译:这个博物馆位于人迹罕至的地方。它与埃利奥特博物馆相连,距离主博物馆约 2 英里或 5 分钟车程。您可以购买参观埃利奥特博物馆和避难所博物馆的组合票。我认为这是最划算的。您可以协调博物馆工作人员开车送您往返。这是一个很好的交易,非常方便。我建议先去埃利奥特,然后再去避难所。您可以自己开车,但避难所的停车位很少。这座房子是佛罗里达州最初为帮助佛罗里达州东海岸遇难者而建造的 10 座房屋中唯一的一座。您可以通过小停车场进入房子。工作人员非常友好。入口处的房子集售票亭、等候区和礼品店于一体。这组小型建筑就位于海滩上,享有美丽的景色。他们让您从第三座房子开始,在那里志愿者放映电影,然后详细介绍人们和建筑的历史。下一个房子有单独的房间,描述了房子历史上的每个时期。总的来说,这是一次非常愉快的参观,参观这座建筑对于描述真正的初始海岸警卫队历史至关重要。
