Excellent visit, had a great time despite it being a Monday when almost everything else was closed
The Fort Steuben Visitor Center and Museum Shop的点评
点评:We drover 50 miles out of our way to visit Steubenville on Monday, December 22, 2025.
We heard about the Nutcracker Village, and upon arriving we started at the fort which was recommended to us. Unfortunately, little did we know that on Mondays almost everything is closed. This included touring the historic area of the fort. We did peruse the visitor center building and gift shop. We also walked all over downtown to see the more than 200 life size nutcracker statues, the architecture of this historic old steel manufacturing town. After the closing of the steel industry the downtown had begun to decay and nearly abandoned. This was why they began the Nutcracker Village and celebration around the Christmas holidays., to bring people back downtown to shop. As visitors we were happy to contribute. However, almost everything was closed on Monday. We did visit, shop and buy at the bookstore, the Leonardo coffee shop and the fort. We would have loved to dine at one of the restaurants as well, if they had been open.
翻译:2025年12月22日星期一,我们特意绕路驱车50英里前往斯托本维尔。我们听说了胡桃夹子村,抵达后便先去了别人推荐的堡垒。可惜的是,我们并不知道星期一几乎所有地方都关门,包括堡垒的历史区域。我们只好逛了逛游客中心和礼品店。之后,我们又在市中心漫步,欣赏了200多尊真人大小的胡桃夹子雕像,以及这座历史悠久的钢铁制造小镇的建筑。钢铁工业衰落后,市中心开始衰败,几乎被废弃。正因如此,他们才在圣诞节前后推出了胡桃夹子村和庆祝活动,希望能吸引人们回到市中心购物。作为游客,我们也乐于为此贡献一份力量。然而,星期一几乎所有地方都关门了。我们还是去了书店、莱昂纳多咖啡馆和堡垒,买了一些东西。如果餐厅开门的话,我们也很想在那里用餐。
