点评:The museum represents one of the most important places and times for the Cherokee leading to the removal and Trail of Tears. The home is nicely maintained both on the exterior and interior. My criticism relates the the exhibits. Many cases are empty and the ones with materials do not necessarily portray the signicance of Ridge in the history of the Cherokee and his pivotal role. The focus is on Ridge's role as a successful farmer and businessman and the evolution of the house. The short film needs closed captioning and a slower narration.
The upstairs exhibits reflect the sequence of ownership after Ridge's death.
The museum entry fees at $10 for adults with discounted fees for seniors and children are exorbitant for the museum content.
A gem in the rough that with some changes and additions could be a worthy stop.
翻译:这座博物馆代表了切罗基人历史上最重要的地点和时期之一,它见证了他们被迫迁徙和“血泪之路”的悲剧。房屋内外都维护得很好。我的批评主要集中在展品上。许多展柜空空如也,而那些摆放着展品的展柜也未能充分展现里奇在切罗基人历史上的重要地位及其关键作用。博物馆的重点似乎放在了里奇作为一名成功的农场主和商人以及房屋的变迁上。短片需要配上字幕,并且旁白速度要慢一些。
楼上的展品反映了里奇去世后房屋的几任主人。
博物馆的门票价格为成人10美元,老年人和儿童可享受折扣,但就其内容而言,这个价格实在太高了。
这座博物馆就像一颗未经雕琢的宝石,如果进行一些改造和扩充,它将成为一处值得一游的景点。
