A fascinating look at the history behind Mayo Clinic
Mayowood Historic Home的点评
点评：If you’re visiting Rochester because of Mayo Clinic, I highly recommend taking the guided tour of the Mayo Wood Mansion. It offers a wonderful glimpse into the life, vision, and personality of Dr. Charles “Charlie” Mayo, and helps explain some of the history behind one of the world’s most respected medical institutions.
Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and had a great sense of humour. Since several members of the Mayo family shared the name Charles, she did an excellent job keeping us from getting everyone mixed up!
One of the things I found most interesting was learning how forward-thinking Dr. Mayo was. He incorporated reclaimed wood from an old schoolhouse into the construction of his home, loved gardening, encouraged country living, and believed gardening should be taught in schools. The stories about his family, his property, and even the unusual animals he kept over the years made the tour both educational and entertaining.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful. There are walking trails, mature trees, a charming pagoda that once served as the family’s tea house, and abundant wildlife. As I was leaving, I spotted several deer, although they disappeared into the woods before I could photograph them. It was easy to understand why Dr. Mayo chose to create such a peaceful retreat away from the city.
One of the most memorable moments came at the end of the tour when we had the opportunity to meet Dr. Charlie Mayo (Young Dr Charlie), now 96 years old, along with his daughter, Liisa. Meeting a member of the present Mayo family added a very special and unexpected personal touch to the experience.
Visitors should know that photography is not permitted inside the mansion, so you’ll simply have to enjoy the experience without a camera. Also, the tour includes climbing quite a few stairs. While there is an elevator in the house, it is not available for public use. If mobility is a concern, it’s worth knowing that many rooms have chairs where visitors can sit during the tour. I have knee and back problems, and being able to sit periodically allowed me to comfortably enjoy the full 1-hour and 15-minute tour.
If you don’t take the guided tour, you may explore the beautiful grounds but not the interior of the mansion. In my opinion, the guided tour is well worth it. It brings the house to life through stories, history, and fascinating insights into the Mayo family, making it an experience I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Rochester.

翻译：如果您因梅奥诊所而前往罗切斯特，我强烈推荐参加梅奥伍德庄园的导览游。这次导览能让您深入了解查尔斯·“查理”·梅奥博士的生平、理念与个性，也有助于您理解这家享誉全球的医疗机构背后的历史渊源。
我们的导游知识渊博、风趣幽默且极具亲和力。由于梅奥家族中有好几位成员都叫查尔斯，她做得非常出色，让我们不会把所有人都搞混！
最让我感兴趣的一点是了解到梅奥医生具有多么前瞻性的思维。他使用从一座旧校舍拆下来的再生木材来建造自己的房子，酷爱园艺，倡导乡村生活方式，还认为学校应该开设园艺课程。关于他的家人、他的庄园，以及这些年来他饲养的那些稀奇古怪的动物的种种故事，让这次参观既富有教育意义又妙趣横生。这里的环境真是美不胜收。有步行小径、参天古树、一座曾作为家族茶室使用的古雅宝塔，还有众多野生动物。离开时，我看到了几只鹿，不过它们在我来得及拍照前就消失在树林中了。不难理解为何梅奥博士会选择在此处打造一个远离城市的宁静休憩之地。
最令人难忘的时刻发生在参观快结束时，那时我们有幸见到了梅奥博士。现年96岁的查理·梅奥（年轻的查理医生）与他的女儿莉萨。能够见到如今的梅奥家族成员，为这次参观增添了极为特别且意想不到的个人体验。
游客们需注意：庄园内禁止拍照，因此只能不带相机来尽情享受这一体验。此外，参观过程中需要爬上不少楼梯。虽然庄园里有电梯，但并不对公众开放。如果行动不便的话，。值得一提的是，很多房间里都配有椅子，参观者可以在此休息。我有膝盖和背部问题，能够时不时坐下来休息让我得以舒适地完成整个1小时15分钟的参观过程。
如果不参加导览游，虽然可以游览美丽的园林，但无法进入庄园内部。在我看来，导览游绝对物有所值。通过各种故事、历史背景以及对梅奥家族的深入介绍，它让这座庄园变得鲜活起来。这真是一次极其值得推荐的体验，我强烈推荐给任何前往罗切斯特的游客。
