点评:We had seen some reviews saying that this tour wasn't worth it, but we disagree. The tour was very well done. It was about an hour long and we got the senior price, so it was good. The tour guides dress in period costumes and that adds a nice element to the tour. Since this is a state park, you are free to wander the grounds, but you can't tour the mansion unless you have a ticket. The guides tell the story of the Rowan family who owned the mansion Federal Hill which was renamed My Old Kentucky Home after the Stephen Foster song. Foster was a second cousin of the Rowan family, although Foster never lived in the house. Most of the furnishings are original and are very nice to see. The downside is that no photos are allowed in the house, so that was a bummer. The gift shop is very nice. One complaint other than no photos in the house, is that a film that is shown in the welcome center about Stephen Foster is almost entirely washed out by morning sun coming in the large glass front. I was disappointed that I was not able to see the movie.
翻译:我们看到一些评论说这次游览不值得,但我们不认同。这次游览安排得非常好。整个游览过程大约一小时,我们还享受了老人优惠价,所以性价比很高。导游们身着特定年代的服装,这为游览增添了不少趣味。由于这里是州立公园,游客可以自由在园区内漫步,但除非购买了门票,否则无法进入大宅参观。导游会讲述罗文家族的故事:他们曾是联邦山的豪宅的主人。后来,受斯蒂芬·福斯特创作的歌曲启发,这座宅邸被重新命名为“我的老肯塔基之家”。福斯特是罗文家族的二代表亲,不过他从未在这栋房子里住过。屋内的大部分家具都是原物,看起来十分精美。唯一的缺憾就是禁止在屋内拍照,这真是令人遗憾。礼品店也相当不错。除了不能拍照这一点外,倒也没什么可挑剔的。问题在于,欢迎中心里播放的关于斯蒂芬·福斯特的影片,几乎完全被从巨大玻璃正门射入的晨光给遮盖住了。没能看到这部影片,我感到非常失望。
