点评:As my wife and I now live in Williamsburg, Virginia, we were thrilled to recently spend a full day touring Historic Deerfield. It is one of the finest history museums in America, a collection of historic homes beautifully preserved by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Flynt. Like Williamsburg, it is a real town blessed with a main street about one mile long that is lined with picturesque buildings. In addition to fascinating architecture, Deerfield has a collection of fine furniture, seen within homes you can visit as well as inside a modern state-of-the-art museum. We just purchased a 288-page book, "The Furniture of Historic Deerfield" written by Dean A. Fales, Jr. in 1976. It was a breath of fresh air to stroll through the town, as my wife and I did on a sunny autumn day at the height of fall foliage. Not all buildings are open at the same time, so I believe you might need a full weekend to see everything. The prestigious Deerfield Academy is here and we saw several adults from around the world attending an alumni gathering, all looking happy. Legendary academy headmasters such as Frank Boyden and David Pynchon are fondly remembered by tour guides. We skipped lunch as there was so much to see, and instead waited for a truly delicious evening meal at the lovely and historic Deerfield Inn. National Geographic magazine did a superb article about Deerfield in their June 1969 issue, which explains the Indian attack of 1704 very well. In Memorial Hall you can see an actual door with a tomahawk chop in it from that frightful day, We send our deep gratitude to the fine staff at Historic Deerfield and wish everyone continued success for the future.
翻译:我和妻子现在住在弗吉尼亚州的威廉斯堡,所以最近能花一整天时间游览迪尔菲尔德历史小镇,我们感到非常兴奋。迪尔菲尔德是美国最棒的历史博物馆之一,由亨利·弗林特夫妇精心维护,汇集了众多历史悠久的房屋。和威廉斯堡一样,迪尔菲尔德也是一座真正的城镇,拥有一条长约一英里的主街,街道两旁林立着风景如画的建筑。除了迷人的建筑,迪尔菲尔德还收藏了许多精美的家具,这些家具既陈列在可以参观的房屋中,也陈列在现代化的博物馆里。我们刚买了一本288页的书,名为《迪尔菲尔德历史小镇的家具》,作者是小迪恩·A·费尔斯,出版于1976年。在一个阳光明媚的秋日,秋叶正值盛放,我和妻子漫步在小镇中,感觉无比惬意。由于并非所有建筑都同时开放,所以我觉得您可能需要一个完整的周末才能参观完所有景点。著名的迪尔菲尔德学院就在这里,我们看到来自世界各地的几位成年人正在参加校友聚会,他们个个笑容满面。导游们对弗兰克·博伊登和戴维·品钦等传奇校长都津津乐道。由于景点众多,我们便放弃了午餐,而是在风景优美、历史悠久的迪尔菲尔德旅馆享用了一顿丰盛的晚餐。《国家地理》杂志在1969年6月刊登了一篇关于迪尔菲尔德的精彩文章,对1704年的印第安人袭击事件进行了详尽的描述。在纪念堂里,你可以看到一扇门,上面留有当年那场可怕袭击留下的战斧砍痕。我们向迪尔菲尔德历史遗址的全体工作人员致以最诚挚的谢意,并祝愿大家未来一切顺利。
