Impressive Battlefield Monument, stunning Circle Garden
Battlefield House Museum & Park的点评
点评：This was in our itinerary for Doors Open Hamilton weekend (free event, 03-04 May). Doors to the house museum literally open at 12PM but we arrived early to secure a good parking spot (free parking) and to explore the park without the crowds.
Entrance to the house was via the rear door. No guided tours during Doors Open. Museum interpreters were on hand only to direct visitors as well as answer questions. We checked out the kitchen, the upstairs bedrooms as well as the exhibit room where we read about the history of Battlefield House Museum & Park and looked at vintage photos. Retraced our steps downstairs then peeked inside the dining room where the most important artifact appeared to be the dining chair that Queen Elizabeth II sat on during her 1959 visit. Rope barriers or wooden gates are installed in a few rooms, like the bedroom and dining room, so we just looked in from the doorway. Afterwards, we were directed to the basement cellar, where the Gage family hid during the 1813 Battle of Stoney Creek.
Back outside, we decided to have another look around. The views from the manicured Circle Garden were stunning and we couldn't resist posing for more souvenir photos despite having already taken photos when we first arrived. We climbed the stone staircase to the base of the tower (no access inside due to the rainy weather?) and read the commemorative plaques by the closed doors. We actually spent more time in Battlefield Park than the house itself. There is a second house, the Nash-Jackson House, located close to the parking lot. Not sure if it was open, we only took photos outside.
It is interesting to learn that if the men in the historical society got their way, the 100ft tower would have been erected at Smith's Knoll at King St W, where the lion monument now stands. Good thing the women won because the Battlefield Monument looks impressive right where it is.

翻译：这是我们汉密尔顿开放日周末（5月3日至4日，免费活动）的行程安排。故居博物馆的大门实际上在中午12点开放，但我们提前到达，以便找到一个好车位（免费停车），避开拥挤的人群，尽情探索公园。
故居博物馆的入口位于后门。开放日期间不提供导览服务。博物馆的讲解员只负责引导游客和解答疑问。我们参观了厨房、楼上的卧室以及展览室，在那里我们了解了战场故居博物馆和公园的历史，并欣赏了老照片。我们原路返回楼下，然后瞥了一眼餐厅，那里最重要的文物似乎是伊丽莎白二世女王1959年访问时坐过的那把餐椅。一些房间，比如卧室和餐厅，安装了绳索屏障或木门，所以我们只能从门口往里看。之后，我们被带到了地下室，盖奇一家在1813年的斯托尼溪战役期间就藏身于此。
回到屋外，我们决定再四处看看。修剪整齐的圆形花园景色令人叹为观止，尽管我们刚到的时候已经拍过照片了，但还是忍不住摆出各种姿势拍纪念照。我们沿着石阶爬上塔楼底部（因为下雨天无法进入？），阅读了紧闭大门旁的纪念牌匾。实际上，我们在战场公园待的时间比在房子里待的时间还长。停车场附近还有另一栋房子，纳什-杰克逊故居。不确定它当时是否开放，我们只在外面拍了照片。
有趣的是，如果历史学会的人得逞了，这座100英尺高的塔楼将会建在国王西街的史密斯山丘上，也就是现在狮子纪念碑所在的地方。幸好女队获胜了，因为战场纪念碑就在那里，看起来令人印象深刻。
