点评:I recently had the pleasure of touring the Colony of Avalon in Ferryland, Newfoundland, under the direction and stewardship of Renee and her incredible team. Considered one of the best preserved English colonial sites in North America, the Colony offers a full visit that includes the visitor centre, museum, and archaeological dig — and I was fortunate to experience it all with our guide, Lu.
Lu did an incredible job bringing the history and stories of the Colony of Avalon to life. A highlight was sitting around the large table in front of the roaring fire, where Lu was making bread and keeping us laughing as she regaled us with stories about the Colony. This was followed by a walk around the grounds, which had live digs and plenty of interesting things to see.
The gift shop is full of wonderful locally made and sourced items, including replicas of some of the pieces unearthed over the years. If you're in the St. John's area, I highly recommend taking the beautiful drive down to Ferryland to experience a piece of Newfoundland history. You won't regret the time spent.
翻译:最近,在蕾妮及其出色团队的带领与安排下,我有幸参观了位于纽芬兰省费里兰的阿瓦隆殖民地。作为北美地区保存最完好的英国殖民遗址之一,这里设有游客中心、博物馆以及考古发掘现场,游客可以全方位了解其历史。我很幸运能有导游卢陪同,亲身体验了这一切。
卢出色地讲述了阿瓦隆殖民地的历史与故事,让那些往昔的岁月栩栩如生。最难忘的时刻便是围坐在熊熊燃烧的壁炉前的大桌子旁——Lu正在那里烤面包,同时讲述着关于殖民地的种种趣事,引得我们开怀大笑。之后我们又在园区内散步,那里有正在进行的考古发掘工作,还有许多有趣的事物可供观赏。
礼品店里摆满了当地制作和采购的精美商品,其中包括近年来出土文物的复制品。如果您恰好在圣约翰斯地区,可一定要去看看。我强烈推荐驱车前往费里兰,去领略纽芬兰的历史风貌。相信您不会为所花费的时间感到遗憾。
