点评:With an unmatched location overlooking the Potomac River, Mt Vernon is architecturally gorgeous with symmetry and grace and is a site to behold. It was interesting trying to envision what the house looked like on the early years before the additions of 1758 and 1774. Though no longer 8000 acres but sitting on the current 500 acres, the property is still quite impressive worthy of this man that spent nearly two decades in the Virginia House of Burgesses, was Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, President of the Constitutional Convention and 1st President of The United States of America.
With renovations complete in time of our nations 250th anniversary, the rooms are gorgeous, and there were so many other property features such as the farm, gardens, tomb, out buildings, wharf, etc. it is an all day affair. The museum on site chronicling Washington's life and the country's is outstanding and not to be missed. For even more in depth information the mtvernon.org website is incredible.
翻译:弗农山坐落于波托马克河畔,地理位置无与伦比。其建筑风格极为优雅,呈现出完美的对称性,实在是一处令人叹为观止的胜地。尝试想象在1758年和1774年两次扩建之前,这座宅邸的模样也颇为有趣。如今,庄园面积虽已不再有8000英亩,而是缩减至500英亩,但它依然气势恢宏,完全配得上这位曾在弗吉尼亚议会任职近二十年的人物。他曾是大陆军的总司令、制宪会议主席,以及美利坚合众国第一任总统。
在美国建国250周年之际,这里的修缮工程顺利完工。各个房间美轮美奂;此外还有农场、花园、陵墓、附属建筑、码头等众多特色景点,足以让人花上一整天的时间游览。馆内陈列的关于华盛顿生平及美国历史的展品同样精彩绝伦,绝对不容错过。如需获取更深入的信息,mtvernon.org网站绝对值得一看。
