Tower of History的点评
点评：While driving along Portage Avenue to check in at our hotel in Sault Ste. Marie, we passed the Historic Tower enroute and decided to investigate during our brief stay in town. We learned that tallest tower in Michigan's upper peninsula is open until 5:00 pm. Arriving there just after 3:30 on a Saturday afternoon, we still had enough time to check out all the displays and to enjoy the views from the top.
The curator was a lovely young lady, who handles admission, customer service, and even clean-up at the end of the day. The adult admission fee is $8.75 and a child's admission is $4.50. Visitors can buy multi-attraction tickets here as well, if you're interested in a Soo Locks boat tour or in checking out the Valley Camp freighter museum, which is the permanent home of battered remnants of the lifeboats recovered after the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior in 1975, among other historic items of interest. The freighter is moored a few blocks east of the tower.
We spent 15 minutes asking questions about various displays in the tower display room, and our guide was pleased to answer them in depth. She taught us about some of the traditions of the native Ojibwas who preceded European explorers in this area.
After thoroughly exploring the lower level, we boarded the elevator to the glass-enclosed observation platform 200 feet above us. There are two open-air observation platforms as well, which we checked out, but it's very windy and chilly up there in October, so I wouldn't recommend those. The other downside to the open-air platforms is that they are equipped with tall metal spikes along the entire edge of the concrete walls so visitors can't fall over the side of the building. But you can't get good panoramic photos because the spikes are visible in every photo. At best, you can poke your hand through the spikes and grab a photo via that method. (But don't lose your grip on your camera!)
The enclosed observation platform is lovely for gawking in comfort at the scenery - protected from the weather - and for photography, though the glare of the sun on the windows can skew some of your photos, depending on which direction you're facing. We spent time watching freighters in the distance coming in and out of the locks, and watched tour boats and leisure craft maneuver the river as well. On a clear day, you can see for 20 miles in any direction. The views up top are pretty spectacular during peak autumn leaves season.
Be aware that, after peak tourist season ends in mid-October, the tower is open only one day a week - on Thursdays from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

翻译：当我们沿着波特奇大道驾车前往苏圣玛丽的酒店办理入住手续时，途经了历史悠久的塔楼，于是决定在短暂的逗留期间去参观一下。我们得知，这座密歇根州上半岛最高的塔楼开放时间一直到下午5点。周六下午3点半左右我们抵达那里，仍有足够的时间参观全部展览并欣赏塔顶的美景。
负责管理此处的是一位非常友善的年轻女士，她负责售票及顾客服务事宜。还包括一天结束后的清理工作。成人门票价格为8.75美元，儿童门票为4.50美元。如果您对苏圣玛丽水闸的游船之旅感兴趣，或者想参观谷地营地货轮博物馆，也可以在此购买包含多个景点的联票。该博物馆永久陈列着1975年苏必利尔湖上埃德蒙·菲茨杰拉德号沉船事故后打捞上来的救生艇残骸，以及其他具有历史价值的物品。那艘货船停泊在塔楼以东几个街区的地方。
我们花了15分钟时间询问有关塔楼展览厅内各类展品的问题，导游欣然为我们做了详尽的解答。她还向我们介绍了在这片地区比欧洲探险家更早到来的奥吉布瓦原住民的某些传统习俗。
彻底游览完下层后，我们乘电梯前往海拔200英尺、由玻璃围合而成的观景平台。此外，这里还有两个露天观景平台。我们曾经去过那里，但十月份那里风很大且很冷，所以我不推荐去。露天观景台的另一个缺点是：混凝土墙的整个边缘都装有高高的金属尖刺，这样游客就不会从楼上跌下去。不过这样一来就拍不出满意的全景照片了，因为每张照片里都能看到这些尖刺。顶多只能把手从尖刺间隙中伸出去，以此方式拍摄照片罢了。（不过可别松手放开相机哦！）
这个封闭的观景平台非常适合舒适地欣赏周围的景色——它能遮挡风雨——也非常适合摄影。不过，根据朝向的不同，阳光在玻璃上产生的反光可能会影响照片效果。我们花时间观察远处货轮进出船闸的情景，还观看了游船及各类休闲船只在河面上穿梭的景象。在天气晴朗的日子里……从塔上可以向任意方向远眺20英里之遥。在秋季树叶最茂盛的时候，这里的景色尤为壮观。
需要注意的是，10月中旬旅游旺季结束后，塔楼每周只开放一天——即每周四上午10点至下午5点。
