    There is no fee for the monastery, but contributions are accepted and appreciated especially at the museum.I was not sure what to expect and what I found was way more than I had hoped for!!The monastery is a working monastery which was awesome to witness. We started in the bookstore while we waited for the museum to open at 2 PM. It was a slow day and I had the good fortune of conversing with a brother about The Russian Orthodox Church in and outside of Russia. We also talked about the Imperial Russian Family, their murder and their evolution to sainthood as well as the many icons. We then spent some time in the monastic cemetery. At 2 we headed over to the museum which, though small, was a stunning collection of religious artifacts some dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. In addition, there was information about selected Tsars, their reigns, and their relationships with the church. Not to be missed!!We were then treated to a private tour of the baptismal fonts and bell tower, to include an in depth explanation of the icons. We then moved into the church, both upper and lower, where brother again explained in detail the church and the deliberate reasons for the specific icons, their specific placement and the evolution of the monastery and its on going roll. The grounds are fairly compact and easy to navigate. There is, in fact, a map available. This is a must for anyone interested in history, religious history and an absolute for anyone interested in Russian history.The pictures inside the church are poorly lit. While pictures are allowed, flashes are not.

    We were taking a side trip to Little Falls traveling from Richfield Springs when we came upon the Holy Trinity Monastery. It was so special to see the beautiful and holy buildings nestled in the countryside. I feel lucky to have found it.

    Always hospitable, this is a really interesting and spiritual place to visit, with beautiful art and artifacts. Great for adults, perhaps not for children.

    We were on our way to a wedding and drove by this beautiful church. We stopped but couldn't go in because I wasn't wearing a skirt and didn't have anything for my head but the outside was so pretty. It is a Russian Orthodox Monastery. It was a very peaceful and beautiful place.

    Holy Trinity is an active monastery of the Orthodox Church founded by refugee Russians. For someone seeking a place of devotion it will be a pleasant place to visit

    Holy Trinity Monastery, in the village of Jordanville, was established in the 1930s by Russian monks who had fled from the Communist regime. It experienced another growth spurt after the Second World War with another influx of refugees, and has continued to grow at a slow but steady pace over the past 50 years--in a world that seems to reinvent itself ten times per minute, this is a place where nothing changes but the monks themselves, and attracts people who are tapped out by the Religion du Jour atmosphere of modern Christianity, as well as a steady of stream of Russian students who come to learn the faith their great-grandfathers practiced. Services take place according to rubrics inherited from ancient Judaism, virtually unaltered since the time of Christ, and the whole effect of the monastery is one, not of an anachronism, but of a sense of timelessness, an "eternal Now."Why would you want to visit a monastery? Picture a place that's so quiet, you can hear church bells from half a mile away. In the early morning, walking along the roadside, you can hear bees buzzing in their hives. The air is so pure that even people with allergies are able to breathe freely. At the same time, there's a spiritual energy that permeates the atmosphere; people arrive spiritually wounded, and leave well on their way to healing.Still, there are a few caveats. Because it is a monastery, people are asked to respect the monastic quiet, and not to wander around without a monastic guide. If you want to see the cathedral on the grounds, you are welcome, but men must wear long trousers, and women must wear skirts, blouses with sleeves, and a hat or scarf. But those small inconveniences.are worth the sights and sounds and smells of this little corner of Russia in Upstate New York--as close to heaven as you can get on earth.
