If you ever have an hour to kill in Harvard Square…
Longfellow House Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site Massachusetts的点评
点评:This place is completely free and extremely hassle-free. Just walk up and sign up for a tour (happens every 30 minutes). When I went on a sunny Summer day there was only one family on the tour with me, so I assume it’s pretty easy to get slots.
The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable about every detail of the house, and they clearly knew their stuff well. The house itself wasn’t too noteworthy, but it does give you a good feel of how people used to live. My highlights include the library with Greek busts along the walls and the surprisingly large garden space outside the house they let you roam without a tour guide.
Look, it’s free and you can do it last minute. I think everyone who lives within walking distance should try to check this out at some point.
翻译:这个地方完全免费,而且非常省心。只需走上前来报名参加游览(每 30 分钟一次)。我去的时候是在一个阳光明媚的夏日,只有一家人和我一起游览,所以我想很容易就能得到名额。
导游对房子的每一个细节都非常了解,他们显然对自己的东西很了解。房子本身并不太引人注目,但它确实能让你很好地感受到人们过去的生活。我最喜欢的包括墙上挂着希腊半身像的图书馆,以及房子外面令人惊讶的大花园空间,他们让你在没有导游的情况下漫步。
看,它是免费的,你可以在最后一分钟去。我认为住在步行距离内的每个人都应该尝试在某个时候去看看。
