Worth the Trip
Mepkin Abbey的点评
点评：This site is in a picturesque, off the beaten path and has an air of adventure. Spotting the subtle sign, we pulled in the long lane to the visitor's center. This center is packed with items - most of which are touristy. They also have a small food selection made by other communities and a book room.
We paid for the tour ($5) which was longer than advertised (a total of 1.5 hrs.). The volunteer guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour goes through a garden and into the cloister - a quiet area. The order of monks is Trappist and so language is kept to a minimum.
The tour includes noon day prayers (less than ten minutes) and a tour of the church. No other buildings are included.
This is an important place as it was a historic plantation (the monks retain 3,500 acres of the original land grant) of quite important people in revolutionary times. More recently, the property was owned by the Luce family. Clare Booth Luce was the person who gifted the land to the diocese. There is nothing left of the original buildings.
In addition, there are other gardens characterized by brick work designs, a grave yard, and paths along the river. It is a beautiful and peaceful setting. This is a contemplative outing that may not be suitable for children.

翻译：这个地方风景如画，远离人迹罕至的地方，充满冒险的气息。看到这个不起眼的标志，我们沿着长长的车道驶向游客中心。这个中心挤满了物品 - 其中大部分是旅游用品。他们还有由其他社区制作的小食品和一间书房。
我们支付了 5 美元的旅游费用，但比广告上说的要长（总共 1.5 小时）。志愿者导游非常友好，知识渊博。游览穿过花园，进入回廊 - 一个安静的区域。僧侣们是特拉普派，所以尽量少说话。
这次旅行包括中午祈祷（不到十分钟）和教堂之旅。不包括其他建筑物。
这是一个重要的地方，因为它是一个历史悠久的种植园（僧侣们保留了 3,500 英亩的原始土地赠与），在革命时期拥有相当重要的人物。最近，这片土地归 Luce 家族所有。克莱尔·布斯·卢斯是将这片土地赠予教区的人。原有的建筑物已荡然无存。
此外，还有其他以砖砌设计为特色的花园、墓地和沿河小径。这是一个美丽而宁静的环境。这是一个沉思的郊游，可能不适合儿童。
