I picked up a brochure for the RUSSIAN MUSEUM at the Holy Trinity Monastery and immediately wanted to go! I had been to the monastery before, but only into the bookstore and cemetery. This time I arrived when the doors to the sanctuary were open. Words cannot fully describe the beauty both inside and out!!! The museum was full of beautiful relics and icons, with easy to under labels describing them. The cemetery behind the church is interesting, too.

Interior and exterior absolutely stunning. Many old religious artifacts and antiques. Be sure to walk up the road to visit the cemetery - it's well worth it.

For the tourists - highly recommend as you can see a genuine Orthodox part of life, plus this place is very beautiful and interesting from the tourist perspective.
Для верующих – это особое место куда снова хочется приехать и побыть в покое, отдельно от мирских забот и жизни. Это здесь хорошо чувствуется потому что монастырь не туристическое место, как многие из монастырей в России например. Очень рекомендовано к посещению.

We were at the monastery on a Thursday around noon.
We knew we would not be able to enter the church because my wife was wearing pants but we decided to visit the museum.
As we were about to enter, a young man was exiting and told us he was closing for lunch. He then invited us to join him and the monks at lunch. We accepted and offered to pay but he said we could make a donation.
Once inside the "mess hall" my wife was told she couldn't eat with the monks and was escorted to a side room that contained a number of women who were employed there (and who by the way wore dresses or skirts),
My lunch with the monks was simple but satisfying; a young monk (or student) read from the Bible while we ate (in silence). One of the monks at lunch was the visiting bishop(??).
After lunch we were escorted to the museum where the caretaker told us about the current display which contained artifacts from the Russian Orthodox religion from around the world.
An interesting visit.

This monastery is regarded by the Orthodox Church as one of their premier centers in North America, and it's an architectural masterpiece. One step into the church leaves any visitor almost breathless with awe at the painted interior and the extraordinary icons, hallmarks of the Orthodox faith. Even for anyone with no attachment to Orthodoxy, it's hard not to be drawn in by the reverence and beauty surrounding what can be seen in this church.
Start your visit at the bookstore, and inquire whether someone is available to offer a tour of the church, which is normally open only during services each day (4:00 PM is a good time, with Vespers and Compline starting then.) Possibly you'll also be able to see inside the bell tower, with the baptismal font located there.
There's also a museum of Russian history near the bookstore - check the hours on their website or by calling ahead. The museum has some fascinating items and it's well worth the nominal admission donation.
The monastery living grounds and the seminary aren't open to the public, but daily and Sunday services are open to anyone, so it's possible to see the monks worshiping and hear the liturgy chanted just as it was by the very earliest Christians.
Dress properly if you'll be inside the church: no shorts, and women should wear skirt or dress and head covering.

In mid-July 2018 as the centennial of the Romanov executions approached I searched the internet for articles on the subject and...found very little. One thing I did find, however, was an exhibit ("Last Days of the Last Tsar") which was beginning at the Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, NY.
I looked up the monastery and, since it was only a four hour drive, went to see the exhibit. I had never heard of it (even though I grew up only about an hour from there) and was impressed by the Trip Advisor reviews.
It's far, far off the beaten path, tucked into the southern Adirondacks, surrounded by fields and hills. Previous reviews have managed to convey the peace and beauty of the place, so I won't reiterate.
The exhibit on the tsar was larger than I thought it would be and. while not the cheeriest of topics, is essential for the Russophiles and the tsar-struck among us. Authentic papers, personal articles and clothing, along with objets d'arte (including a few by the Faberge workshop) and photographs, My husband was impressed by the display case which contained initialed wooden clothes hangars which the royal family took with them when they were shipped to Siberia and the Urals. Something so very simple, yet mute testimony to history. Years ago I saw the premier Nicholas & Alexandra exhibit in Delaware - stunning - and it surprised me that such a small, unpretentious little museum could mount something that reminded me of it, albeit writ small.
The museum charges a small suggested donation to enter, and now takes credit cards. The bookstore has some interesting Romanov books (some in Russian only, but others in English) as well as icons, candles, honey and coffee and cards, etc. I spoke with the monk manning the register for a bit and he excused himself as it was lunchtime - but not before asking us if we wished to join the monks for lunch. We had a big breakfast and so didn't avail ourselves of the monks' generosity, but I thought that was such a wonderful invitation - unexpected and so kind.
A lovely visit and lovely memories.

Over the last two decades I have been here well over 100 times: each time unique, each visit offering a new view of Russian albeit Byzantine art, culture, food, music: sometimes at times when many pilgrims are present, some times when nary a soul is there. The bookstore gets better and better with a growing selection of books, postcards, candles, icons and items made in the monastery and nearby sisterhood. The cemetery is a quiet place with a view of another historical cemetery on a nearby hill. Each season brings its enchantments there, though a hard winter might make it necessary to wait till Spring to enter. The grave of a lady known simultaneously as "Evgenia Smetisko" and "Anastasia Romanov" is in the back, new section, to the right. Interestingly her grave marker lists her DOB as 18 June 1901, that of Anastasia Romanov. This will be of immense interest to history buffs. Everyone is very friendly, and if you ask for a cup of coffee a seminarian or priest will show you where coffee urn is! :) A "MUST SEE" in Upstate New York.

Nestled on many acres of land atop a tall hill near a quintessential town named Richfield Springs, NY, Rt. 167, is an incredibly beautiful facility which looks like the Russia we all remember in historic photos. Driving up the hill, you spot the gleaming gold tops of the church and adjacent buildings. Once you get there, it’s even more fantastic. You spot seminary students and priests and monks of all ages walking about the meadows and walkways. It’s rather like stepping back 100 years to the time when Nicholas and Alexandra and their children were executed at Ekaterinburg on July 17th, 1917. Then traveling up the driveway a bit, is their expansive cemetery – apparently many of Russian ancestry continue to live in this area, also known as Jordanville. This is also where a woman, age 96, named Eugenia Smitsco, was buried in 1997. She claimed to be the real Anastasia who managed to escape death during the murdering of her family. Her grave cross carries her birth date of June 18th, 1902, the same as Anastasia.
Many, including myself, believe this is entirely possible. The Monastery also has a museum and gift shop. She left an annual bequest of considerable dollars to this amazing place. No matter what your faith or no faith as the case may be, this is an astounding place to visit. It is located not far from the Cooperstown area, home of the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Farmers Museum. You will leave the site, refreshed in mind and spirit.

I had heard about this place years ago and always hoped to go to it. The other day my friend and i were headed up north towards the adirondacks when we was a sign for it and decided to check it out. It is gorgeous from the outside and we would have been content to view it only from the outside but a monk came along and encouraged us to go to the gift shop. We could not find it, and found ourselves wandering around behind the bell tower an admiring the cemetery when another monk saw us and directed us to the shop. Father Teecan greeted us and conversed with us and invited us to return another time and take a tour n have lunch there. I hope to do that someday.

We only visited the museum, which is phenomenal, especially for Russians. Church opened at 4 pm and we had a chance to listen to whatever was going on there. We visited the church to look at the paintings.
