Do not miss Ventfort Hall, try to get an in-person guided tour
Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum的点评
点评:The website says that tours are self-guided, but we went on a weekday in the late morning, and were given a marvelous personal guided tour by a volunteer docent (I'm so sorry I've forgotten her name). She knew volumes about the history of the house and the families that lived there, along with the details of the incredible restoration project that has been going on there for over 20 years. She brought it all to life for us, and we were so glad we went.
A guided tour is not required; you can go around the house by yourself, and there are some explanatory photos and text in each room. But I strongly recommend a guided tour if you can get one. The restoration is a work in progress, and that is part of the fascination of this remarkable and atmospheric place.

不需要导游;可以自己在房子里转一圈,每个房间都有一些说明性的照片和文字。但如果你能得到的话,我强烈推荐一次导游。修复工作正在进行中,这也是这个非凡而大气的地方的魅力的一部分。
