A little Civil War, a little more Indian War, and Lots of Victorian beauty.
General Crook House Museum的点评
点评:General Crook was a Civil War officer who fought valiantly in several battles.
However, this house is post Civil War, when he became more famous for his fighting in the Indian Wars. He treated the Indians fairly and was the right man, at the right place, at the right time.
The Victorian home and the rooms were beautifully presented and since it was the holiday season, each room had a Christmas tree decorated in the color scheme of the room.
I took lots of pictures but will only share a few as other reviewers have posted plenty of pictures for you to see.
After an informative introduction by Cindy, she was wonderful, I received a “Walking Tour Booklet” which was filled with detailed information of each of the rooms.
This house is part of Fort Omaha and there is another guide book to a 14 stop Walking Tour around the Fort’s grounds where you will find plaques along the way explaining what the building in front of you were used for during the active life of the Fort.
Today these buildings are part of a Community College.
I was looking for Civil War history, but found Victorian era beauty and Christmas cheer.
Well worth the trip and my time spent.
翻译:克鲁克将军是一名南北战争军官,在几场战斗中英勇奋战。
然而,这所房子建于南北战争之后,当时他因参加印第安战争而声名鹊起。他公平对待印第安人,是合适的人选,在合适的时间出现在合适的地点。
维多利亚式住宅和房间都装饰得很漂亮,因为当时是假期,每个房间都装饰着一棵圣诞树,配色方案与房间相配。
我拍了很多照片,但只分享几张,因为其他评论者已经发布了很多照片供您查看。
在辛迪的详细介绍后,她很棒,我收到了一本“徒步游览手册”,里面详细介绍了每个房间。
这所房子是奥马哈堡的一部分,还有另一本指南,介绍围绕堡垒场地的 14 站徒步游览,沿途您会发现牌匾,解释您面前的建筑物在堡垒活跃时期的用途。
如今,这些建筑是社区学院的一部分。
我本来想了解南北战争的历史,却发现了维多利亚时代的美丽和圣诞节的欢乐。
这次旅行和所花的时间非常值得。
