点评:Lots of things to see in this museum and village. Start with the museum. You will learn about the Rockford Peaches, which was a women's league baseball team. Check out the information on Sock Monkeys made from the socks made in the area (and then visit the Sock Monkey Museum in Long Grove IL on your way home), military history, manufacturing in the area, different businesses in Rockford, a story of a plane crash and recovery. No matter what your interest is, there will be something for you. Exit out into the village grounds. Here a tour guide will take you into the buildings that are available to enter and give you a short history of each. Some of the buildings are originals and some are replicas. They will let you know which is which.
If you are planning on coming during a special event like the WWII reenactment, the village buildings are not accessible, so plan on visiting a separate time if you want to enjoy the history.
I would plan on spend a few hours here. The doll museum was closed when we were here.
Best for kids 8+
翻译:这座博物馆和村庄里有很多值得一看的东西。建议先从博物馆开始参观。在那里,你可以了解到“罗克福德桃子队”——一支女子职业棒球队的相关历史。此外,还能看到用当地生产的袜子制成的“袜子猴”的相关介绍(回家途中不妨顺道去伊利诺伊州朗格罗夫的袜子猴博物馆参观一下)。博物馆还展示了当地的军事历史、制造业发展情况以及罗克福德的各种企业信息,甚至还有一架飞机坠毁及后续救援的故事。无论你的兴趣何在,这里都一定有能吸引你的内容。从出口走出后便是村庄区域。在这里,导游会带领您参观可以进入的建筑,并简要介绍每座建筑的历史。这些建筑中有些是原物,有些则是复制品,导游会向您说明哪些是原物、哪些是复制品。
如果您计划在举办特别活动期间前来,比如二战情景再现活动,那么村庄里的建筑将无法进入。因此,若想了解其历史,建议您另择时间前来参观。
我建议在这里停留几个小时。我们去的时候,玩偶博物馆闭馆了。
最适合8岁以上的孩子。
