点评:Blennerhassett Mansion is on an island in the middle of the Ohio River between Parkersburg, WV and Marietta, OH. Tickets are purchased for the entire excursion: paddlewheel boat to and from the island as well as a tour of the mansion. Tickets can also be purchased for horse-drawn wagon tours.
This was our second trip over, but this was for a special event: The Mansion by Candlelight tour. An event in October covering two back-to-back evenings (choose your evening) which can also include a buffet supper on the grounds. Visitors are able to see the Blennerhassetts entertaining their guests at a party in the mansion. Many volunteers, in period costumes, add authenticity to the experience. There are musicians in most rooms, docents to set the scene, and candlelight bathing the mansion in golden light. A lovely event not to be missed.

这是我们第二次造访此地,不过这次是为了参加一个特别活动——“烛光下的庄园之旅”。这项活动定于10月举行,持续两个连续的夜晚(可任选一个晚上参加)。活动期间还可在庄园内享用自助晚餐。游客们将有机会目睹布伦纳哈塞特一家在豪宅中宴请宾客的情景。众多身着复古服饰的志愿者让整个体验更具真实感。多数房间里都有乐师演奏,还有讲解员负责营造氛围,烛光则为整座豪宅披上金色光芒。这是一场不容错过的精彩活动。
