A Lovely Old Building and Really Interesting Exhibits in Independence
Independence Historical Museum & Art Center的点评
点评：I was visiting a friend in Independence and she took me to visit the Historical Museum & Art Center. What a delightful experience!
The museum is housed in the original town post office; it's a grand old building which has been lovingly preserved, and most of the architectural details are still present. The main level is primarily an open gallery (which, on the day of our visit, was being prepared for a High Tea fundraiser the next afternoon; it was a treat to see all the lovely place settings at the tables!) with smaller galleries surrounding it (we weren't able to view most of these due to the preparations). Upstairs are three rooms furnished in the period as, respectively, an upper-class home's dining room; a barber shop; and a shoe shine booth. The basement is creatively partitioned into roughly twenty "rooms" of exhibit spaces, filled with everything from a 1869 log cabin to a general store, a blacksmith's shop, a school room, and other similar reconstructions from Independence's history. It was fascinating to learn about some of the famous people from Independence, and some of the interesting events that happened there (like the first night game in organized baseball, back in 1930).
Many thanks to Theresa, our volunteer guide, who was SO welcoming and hospitable and spent some time chatting with us after our tour had finished. All of the volunteers are so dedicated, and the museum is the showpiece of their devoted work. Thank you for such a lovely afternoon!

翻译：我去独立城拜访一位朋友，她带我参观了历史博物馆和艺术中心。真是一次愉快的经历！
博物馆位于原镇邮局内；这是一座宏伟的老建筑，保存完好，大部分建筑细节至今仍保留。主层主要是一个开放式画廊（我们参观的那天，它正在为第二天下午的下午茶筹款活动做准备；看到餐桌上摆放的精美餐具真是赏心悦目！），周围环绕着一些较小的画廊（由于准备工作，我们没能参观到大部分画廊）。楼上有三间当时布置的房间，分别用作上流社会住宅的餐厅、理发店和擦鞋亭。地下室被巧妙地划分成大约二十个“房间”，里面摆满了各种展品，从1869年的小木屋到杂货店、铁匠铺、教室，以及独立城历史上其他类似的重建作品。了解独立城的一些名人以及那里发生的一些有趣事件（比如1930年举行的第一场有组织的棒球夜赛）真是令人着迷。
非常感谢我们的志愿者导游Theresa，她非常热情好客，在我们参观结束后还花了一些时间和我们聊天。所有的志愿者都非常敬业，这座博物馆就是他们辛勤工作的结晶。感谢你们让我们度过了一个美好的下午！
