点评:My visit to Bohemia Manor Farm was not for the wine or any event today, but to learn more about this historical property dating from 1660. Two of the structures were listed with the Maryland Historic Trust, which attracted my attention. The century old brick manor house built in 1920 is at the back of the property with a beautiful lawn sloping down to the Bohemia River, offers lodging. Nearby is a large gravestone dedicated to the founder, Augustine Herman. One should note that the main highway running east of the property is named for him. That is quite fitting since Herman had undertaken the first mapping of the area for Lord Calvert of Maryland in the colonial days. The property features vineyards on the rolling hills, a winery, and a restaurant. The ruins of the second historic building are located near the restaurant and are fenced. When the property was surveyed 20 years ago some of the walls were still standing, but now little remains upright and according to staff, not warranting reconstruction. A historical marker on the Augustine Herman Highway states in the language of the time "BOHEMIA MANNOR Granted 1662 as 4000 acres in the farr remote, then unknown wilderness to Augustine, native of Bohemia, for making a mapping of this province." Regranted 1663 as 6000 acres erected a manor in 1676. Even though none of the original buildings remain, the restaurant and winery are designed in a style that provides a historic atmosphere at this 17th century property. Now that I've soaked in a bit of history, I hope to return to taste the wine and food.
翻译:我今天造访波西米亚庄园农场并非为了品酒或参加任何活动,而是为了深入了解这座始建于1660年的历史庄园。其中两座建筑被列入马里兰州历史信托名录,这引起了我的注意。庄园后方是一座建于1920年的百年砖砌庄园宅邸,拥有美丽的草坪,一直延伸到波西米亚河畔,并提供住宿。附近有一块巨大的墓碑,纪念庄园的创始人奥古斯丁·赫尔曼。值得一提的是,庄园东侧的主要公路正是以他的名字命名的。这非常贴切,因为赫尔曼曾在殖民时期为马里兰州的卡尔弗特勋爵绘制了该地区的第一张地图。庄园内有绵延起伏的山丘,遍布葡萄园,还有一座酿酒厂和一家餐厅。第二座历史建筑的遗址位于餐厅附近,并被围栏围了起来。20年前勘测庄园时,部分墙体依然屹立,但如今已所剩无几,据工作人员称,这些建筑已无重建的必要。奥古斯丁·赫尔曼公路旁的一块历史路标,用当时的语言写道:“波西米亚庄园,1662年获赐4000英亩土地,位于当时偏远且无人知晓的荒野之中,授予波西米亚人奥古斯丁,以表彰他绘制了该省的地图。”1663年再次获赐6000英亩土地,并于1676年建造了庄园。尽管最初的建筑已不复存在,但餐厅和酒庄的设计风格依然保留了17世纪庄园的历史氛围。如今,我已领略了些许历史气息,希望有机会能再次造访,品尝这里的美酒佳肴。
