点评:We were on our way home from visiting family in North Carolina and had made plans to stop here for a few hours. My wife and I had last visited back in 1990 and this was the first visit for my son.
We had a great time touring the park and taking a number of scenic photos.
The old mill was the highlight of our trip. The guy running it (Ron) was a treasure trove of knowledge regarding the park and the local history. I was unaware many scenes from 1955's The Kentuckian, starring Burt Lancaster were filmed there.
Unfortunately, the mill was waiting on a part to be replaced and was inoperable. We would have loved seeing it grind some corn with those huge millstones.
Oh, and the millstones displayed outside are the largest collection of old millstones in the U.S.
We all wished we had more time to spend there.
翻译:我们正在从北卡罗来纳州探亲回家的路上,并计划在这里停留几个小时。我和妻子上次来是在 1990 年,这是我儿子第一次来。
我们在公园里游览得很开心,并拍了一些风景照片。
老磨坊是我们旅行的亮点。经营它的人(罗恩)是关于公园和当地历史的知识宝库。我不知道 1955 年伯特·兰卡斯特主演的《肯塔基人》中的许多场景都是在那里拍摄的。
不幸的是,工厂正在等待更换零件,无法运行。我们很想看到它用那些巨大的磨石磨一些玉米。
哦,外面展示的磨石是美国最大的旧磨石收藏。
我们都希望有更多的时间在那里度过。
