Abbey of Gethsemani
Since 1848, when 44 Trappist Monks from the Abbey of Melleray in western France
made themselves a new home in the hills of Central Kentucky, Gethsemani has been
a hardworking community. Supporting themselves at first by farming, the monks now
depend on their mail-order sales of homemade fruitcake, cheese and bourbon fudge.
The Abbey is located at 3642 Monks Road, Trappist, KY 40051-6102. For more
information, access their website @ www.monks.org.
