点评:My husband and I took the tour the day after Valentine's day. We were the only ones on the tour, and it was great. My husband said it was the best home tour he has ever been on. Our tour guide, Steve, was wonderful! He is so knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He answered all of our questions and told cool stories about the home, the various families that have lived there, items in the home and stories from other tours he has done. (Btw, I believe Steve has been volunteering in some capacity at the home for 25 years!) He def loves it. The tour felt like he was giving us a tour of his own home! The home is beautiful and very WELL-preserved with many items original to the family (even clothing), which is rare. (Usually when a family leaves one of these historic homes, the original items are auctioned off, kept by descendants or lost to time.) Anyway, having dedicated, caring volunteers, cooperation from any living relatives, and local gov participation make a huge difference with the continued preservation of these historic homes. Thankfully, this home has it all.
翻译:我丈夫和我参加了情人节后的第二天的游览。我们是游览团中唯一的游客,感觉很棒。我丈夫说这是他参加过的最好的家庭游。我们的导游史蒂夫很棒!他知识渊博、善良、耐心。他回答了我们所有的问题,并讲述了关于这个家、住在那里的各个家庭、家里的物品以及他参加过的其他游览的故事。(顺便说一句,我相信史蒂夫已经在这个家做了 25 年的志愿者!)他非常喜欢它。这次游览感觉就像他在带我们参观自己的家!这个家很漂亮,保存得非常好,有很多这个家庭的原始物品(甚至是衣服),这是罕见的。(通常,当一个家庭离开这些历史悠久的房屋之一时,原始物品会被拍卖、由后代保留或随着时间的流逝而丢失。)无论如何,拥有敬业、有爱心的志愿者、任何在世亲属的合作以及当地政府的参与,对于继续保护这些历史悠久的房屋大有裨益。值得庆幸的是,这个家拥有一切。
