点评:They say the tour guide makes all the difference. We had a wonderful experience due mostly in part to the Site Manager Mr. Richard Griffin. He was personable, knowledgeable and humorous.
We entered the welcome center on the property. A 15-minute introduction movie was shown about Mr Haley's life and work. The movie was very informative. After the movie we walked into the Interpretive Center to browse the displays. There's lots to read but there are artifacts and visuals too.
After viewing the Interspective Center we headed out of the back door towards Mr Haley's home for a guided tour. There are period pieces set up in the home just as it was originally. This experience couldn't truly be captured on camera but I tried. There was just too much to learn. Our guide did not disappoint. I highly recommend visiting.
Alex Haley's house is about an hour away from Memphis. We were determined to go, come rain or shine. Our driver was excellent. It rained hard, stormed, and there was a tornado watch on the way there but we went anyway. 🤷🏾♀️ When we got there, Mr Richard was fussing, "Are yall crazy?" for traveling in the bad weather. 😂😂
翻译:据说导游的作用至关重要。我们的体验非常愉快,这主要要归功于景区经理理查德·格里芬先生。他亲切随和、知识渊博且风趣幽默。
我们首先走进了景区内的接待中心。那里播放了一部时长15分钟的影片,介绍了黑利先生的生平与事业,内容十分丰富且富有教育意义。看完影片后,我们又走进解说中心浏览各项展览。那里有大量文字资料,也有各种文物和图片展示。参观完“透视中心”后,我们从后门出发,前往黑利先生的宅邸进行导览。宅子里按照原貌布置了那个时代的各种物品。这种体验实在难以通过镜头完美呈现,但我还是尽力尝试了。有太多东西值得去了解啊!我们的导游表现得非常出色。我强烈推荐大家去参观。
亚历克斯·黑利的故居距离孟菲斯约一小时车程。无论晴雨,我们都决心要去。我们的司机非常棒。那天雨下得很大,还伴有暴风。当时那边发布了龙卷风预警,但我们还是去了。🤷🏾♀️ 到了之后,理查德先生着急地说:“你们疯了吗?在这种恶劣天气里还出门。”😂😂
