Excellent Historic Home, Tour and Gardens!
The Mount, Edith Wharton Cultural Center的点评
点评:If you're visiting the Berkshires, be sure to visit The Mount! We started by walking the grounds of Edith Wharton's historic estate. We were fortunate to be there during the annual display of outdoor sculpture placed throughout the gardens and woodlands. We also visited the Georgian Revival Stable where we watched an excellent film that gave us an overview of Edith Wharton's life. Best of all, we visited the historic mansion with an excellent small-group tour by Lynn who was extremely knowledgable about the architecture and decor of the home, Edith and Teddy Wharton's life there, and Edith Wharton's publications and other contributions. Lynn patiently and expertly answered questions and made our experience very pleasant. The gift shop is also wonderful with lots of unique treasures.
翻译:如果您要游览伯克希尔地区,一定要去“the Mount”看看!我们首先漫步在伊迪丝·华顿这座历史悠久的庄园里。很幸运,我们恰逢每年一度的户外雕塑展,众多雕塑作品分布在花园与林地之中。我们还参观了乔治亚复兴风格的马厩,在那里观看了一部出色的影片,从而对伊迪丝·华顿的生平有了更深入的了解。最棒的是……我们参加了由琳恩带领的小团参观活动,她对这座历史名宅的建筑风格与装饰细节了如指掌,还向我们介绍了伊迪丝与泰迪·沃顿在此地的生活经历,以及伊迪丝·沃顿的著作与其他贡献。琳恩耐心且专业地解答了我们的种种疑问,让这次参观体验十分愉快。这里的纪念品商店也相当不错,陈列着许多独具特色的珍品。
