Welcome to Our Lady of Gethesmani Abbey. This is the oldest house of the Cistercian order in the United States. While you are here Take a walk on the trails and look around the grounds. Signs will be posted that will inform you where you can and cannot go. Also, this is a place of silence and meditation-please respect that and be a silent waymarker.
The coordinates posted will put you at a monument on a small hill across the road from the main grounds. I chose that spot because I liked the view.
