点评:The "oldest" house in New York, and that's not just a slogan. It's the only surviving residence from the historic Civil War era. To reach it, you pass through an area in northern Manhattan, which is different in building structure and atmosphere, offering a good chance to get a taste of the famous Harlem neighborhood. The site can be perfectly seen in about an hour or less, and it's very easy to reach by metro from downtown.
Inside the building, you can appreciate the daily life practices of the 18th and 19th centuries. You can see and touch original and authentic furniture from those periods. The house's history is equally amazing – after being built by European immigrants, it served as George Washington's war room during the Civil War, was captured by the British, returned to the Americans, and eventually sold to the City of New York. It became a museum that stands as a living and genuine testament to those days.
You can touch, smell, and see how people once lived. I can't recall seeing anything like it in New York. Highly recommended for history lovers and anyone visiting the area.
翻译:纽约“最古老”的房子,这并非只是一句口号。它是南北战争时期唯一幸存的住宅。要到达这里,您需要穿过曼哈顿北部的一个区域,那里的建筑结构和氛围都与以往不同,是您体验著名哈莱姆区风采的绝佳机会。大约一小时或更短的时间内即可游览完该遗址,从市中心乘坐地铁即可轻松抵达。
在建筑内部,您可以感受到18世纪和19世纪的日常生活,并有机会欣赏和触摸那些时期的原始家具。这栋房子的历史同样令人惊叹——它由欧洲移民建造,在南北战争期间曾作为乔治·华盛顿的作战室,后来被英国人占领,归还给美国人,最终被出售给纽约市。如今,它已成为一座博物馆,成为那些岁月鲜活而真实的见证。
您可以触摸、嗅闻,并亲眼目睹人们曾经的生活。我不记得在纽约见过类似的东西。强烈推荐给历史爱好者和任何来该地区旅游的人。
