点评:We had a wonderful visit to the Whitman Historical Museum in Canso while exploring the town where my mother’s family came from.
We were fortunate to meet Melissa, a local historian who was incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and generous with her time. She shared so much of Canso’s history and local lore with us and even helped make connections to our own family name, which made the visit especially meaningful.
One of the highlights was when she briefly closed up the museum so she could take us up to the widow’s walk, where we had a beautiful view of the harbor and could see the site of Mr. Whitman’s former fish-processing operation.
Melissa was friendly, smart, thoughtful, and genuinely interested in helping us understand the history of the town. She is a wonderful ambassador for Canso and made our visit memorable. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area.

我们很幸运能结识梅丽莎,这位当地的历史学者不仅学识渊博,而且热情好客、慷慨大方。她向我们讲述了许多关于坎索的历史与民间传说,甚至还帮我们探寻了与我们姓氏相关的渊源。这次参观因此变得格外有意义。最令人难忘的环节是:她暂时关闭了博物馆,带我们登上观景台。在那里,我们欣赏到了港口的壮丽景色,还能看到惠特曼先生以前经营鱼类加工厂的旧址。
梅丽莎热情友善、聪慧体贴,真心希望帮助我们了解这座小镇的历史。她是坎索镇的绝佳形象大使,让我们的到访变得难以忘怀。如果您恰好来到这一带,强烈建议去拜访一下!
