Lots to see, but bring walking shoes
Edison and Ford Winter Estates的点评
点评:Deb and I came for the Fall Festival and did the full admission while we were here. It was $28 a person, which is pricey, but you get a lot for it: both winter homes, the gardens, Ford's garage with his old cars and trucks, and an air-conditioned museum full of Edison phonographs and a 1917 Model TT truck.
The museum was my favorite part. There is an Edison quote on the wall about being afraid of things that work the first time. I loved that one. There is also a Connie Mack Code of Conduct display I didn't expect to find here.
We spent a good 3 hours here. The tour is self-guided with an app, and it was nice having it talk us through each stop. It did have one glitch: it kept playing the recording from the last stop instead of the one I was standing at. Know before you go: the paths are gravel and there is a lot of walking. Park in the back lot, where there is plenty of room. The festival was free but small, with not many vendors, and mostly aimed at families.
翻译:我和黛布为了参加秋季庆典而前来,并在此期间购买了全套参观票。票价为每人28美元,虽然有点贵,但物有所值:可以参观两栋冬季住宅、花园,还有福特的车库——里面陈列着他的旧汽车和卡车。此外还有一个配有空调的博物馆,里面陈列着爱迪生的留声机以及一辆1917年生产的TT型卡车。
博物馆是我最喜欢的部分。墙上有一句爱迪生的名言,大意是“不要害怕那些第一次尝试就能成功的东西”。我非常喜欢这句话。这里还有一个我原以为不会在这里看到的康尼·麦克行为准则展示牌。
我们在这里花了大约3个小时。参观过程是通过应用程序进行自助导览的,能听到它在每个站点为我们讲解真是太好了。不过有个小问题:它总是播放上一个站点的解说,而不是我当前所在站点的内容。出发前请注意:这里的步道是碎石路,需要走很多路。请把车停在后方的停车场,那里空间很充裕。这个节日活动是免费的,但规模不大,摊贩也不多。主要针对家庭群体。
