点评:I'm a Civil War buff in particular but a historian in general. So I am intrigued by Colonial America, the Founding Fathers and the Revolutionary War. I've been to Independence Hall, Yorktown, Valley Forge, Mount Vernon, Montpelier, Concord, Lexington, Boston Common, Bunker Hill and the U.S. Constitution. And now I've been to the Museum of the American Revolution, which tells the story of the American Revolution in the late 18th century unlike any other museum. Located at 101 South 3rd Street, across the street from the First Bank of the United States and two blocks from Independence Hall, the National Constitution Center, Carpenters' Hall and Liberty Bell Center, it opened on April 19, 2017, the 242nd anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, two significant conflicts of the Revolutionary War that were fought on April 19, 1775. The museum rises three stories, covers 118,000 square feet and features a collection of several thousand objects, including artwork, sculpture, textiles, firearms, edged weapons, manuscripts and books. Among the most interesting exhibits are George Washington's headquarters tent, silver camp cups from Washington's field equipment, wartime correspondence and books from Washington's library, a recreation of Independence Hall, full-scale replicas of Boston's Liberty Tree and an Oneida Indian Council House, a film on the Battle of Brandywine, a British military musket and a large model of an 18th century privateer ship. Visitors can follow a chronological journey tracing the roots of the American Revolution from the 1760s to the rise of armed resistance to the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to Yorktown and the final years of the war. In 2023, the museum opened a new and utterly fascinating exhibit, "Black Founders: The Forten Family of Philadelphia," a 5,000-square-foot exhibit centering around James Forten, a Black Founding Father and abolitionist and his family's push for voting rights and civil liberties for African Americans.
翻译:我尤其钟爱美国内战史,但总体来说也算是个历史爱好者。因此,我对殖民时期的美国、开国元勋们以及独立战争都颇感兴趣。我曾参观过独立厅、约克镇、瓦利福奇、弗农山、蒙佩利尔、康科德、列克星敦、波士顿公园、邦克山以及美国宪法博物馆。最近我又去参观了美国革命博物馆,该博物馆以独一无二的方式讲述了18世纪末美国独立战争的历史。博物馆地址为南第三街101号。该博物馆位于美国第一银行对面,距离独立厅、国家宪法中心、木匠会堂以及自由钟中心均只有两个街区之遥。它于2017年4月19日正式开放,这一天正值莱克星顿和康科德战役242周年纪念日;这两场战役是1775年4月19日爆发的美国独立战争中的重要战役。博物馆共有三层,占地面积达118,000平方英尺,馆内收藏了数千件藏品,包括各类艺术品与雕塑等。纺织品、火器、刀剑、手稿和书籍。最有趣的展品包括乔治·华盛顿的指挥帐篷、属于华盛顿行军装备的银制行军杯、华盛顿藏书中的战时书信与书籍、独立厅的复原模型、波士顿自由树及奥奈达印第安人议事厅的全尺寸复制品、一部关于布兰迪万河战役的影片、一把英国军用火枪,以及一个18世纪私掠船的大型模型。游客可以沿着时间线索,追溯美国革命的起源:从1760年代开始,直至武装抵抗运动的兴起、1776年《独立宣言》的发表,再到约克镇战役以及战争的最后阶段。2023年,该博物馆全新推出了一个极为精彩的展览——“黑人先驱:费城的福滕家族”,这个面积达5000平方英尺的展览以詹姆斯·福滕为核心人物进行展示。一位黑人开国元勋兼废奴主义者,以及他的家人为争取非裔美国人的投票权和公民自由所付出的努力。
