The Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani is the oldest operating monastery in the United States. The Welcome Center explores monastic life with a film and information, and Mass is held twice a day. Trappist monks live a contemplative life of prayer, work and silence. If you plan on visiting, note that speaking is allowed only in designated areas. The monks grow their own food and support themselves with prize-winning handmade fruitcakes and fudge that are available for sale in the gift store.
