Arguably the Best Rural Museum in Virginia
Essex County Museum and Historical Society的点评
点评：Oh my. This is a small, three room museum (one of the rooms is the county gift shop though), but goodness is it well curated. I spent 40 minutes in the main room! The fossils, USS Tappahannock exhibit, the steamboat information, the Civil War display and fort model, the history of county... whoever has created these exhibits has uncommon talent. They have made a lot out of this space. And, to my absolute delight, most of the displays were heavily reliant on primary artifacts. That's what I love to see! If I want to read signage I can do that online. Museums are for learning through presentation of THINGS and STUFF. It makes history real. And the Essex County museum does exactly that. Make sure to take a few minutes to examine the old tombstones in the adjacent graveyard, and walk the block - the nearby Courthouse, Civil War Memorial, USS Tappahannock Memorial, Debtor's Prison, and several historic houses are all neat. The architecture is VERY old on some of them - the Debtor's Jail dates to the 1700s! Using the museum as a starting point, a simple walk around the block catches all of those sights. And I found it useful to keep in mind that these very streets, and some of the buildings, were witness to the British invasion of Tappahannock in the War of 1812. Just a fascinating historical area, spearheaded by this marvelous little museum (which is free to visit). If you're anywhere nearby, take an hour to check it out.
翻译：天哪。这是一个只有三个房间的小型博物馆（其中一个房间是县礼品店），但策划得非常好。我在主房间里待了 40 分钟！化石、塔帕汉诺克号航空母舰展览、轮船信息、内战展览和堡垒模型、县的历史……无论是谁创造了这些展览，都拥有非凡的天赋。他们充分利用了这个空间。令我非常高兴的是，大多数展览都严重依赖于原始文物。这就是我喜欢看到的！如果我想阅读标牌，我可以在线阅读。博物馆是通过展示物品和东西来学习的。它让历史变得真实。埃塞克斯县博物馆就是这样做的。一定要花几分钟时间检查一下相邻墓地的旧墓碑，然后走一走——附近的法院、内战纪念馆、塔帕汉诺克号航空母舰纪念馆、债务人监狱和几座历史悠久的房屋都很整洁。有些建筑非常古老 - 债务人监狱的历史可以追溯到 18 世纪！以博物馆为起点，沿着街区简单走一圈，就能看到所有这些景点。我发现记住这些街道和一些建筑见证了 1812 年战争中英国入侵塔帕汉诺克是有用的。这是一个迷人的历史区，以这个奇妙的小博物馆（免费参观）为先锋。如果你在附近，花一个小时去看看吧。
