As I was heading down Rt. 8 I came across this Convent that I had absolutely no idea that existed. The building itself reminded me of a mental institution, I've watched way to many Ghost Adventure shows. I wasn't going to ride up the very long driveway but the view was just to tempting to just turn around and leave.
As I approached the darkened building I knew that I had made the right decision. I have no history about the building but was amazed at the lack of use. I saw only a couple of lights on which makes me wonder how many really reside in this building.
It wasn't until I drove to the back of the parking lot did I notice the cemetery, it was creepy yet beautiful. You almost felt a peace come over you. Those that were buried here knew that they were spending eternity with the ones they loved and God.
I plan on returning very soon and probably often, the grounds are open to the public as is the gardens and wetlands. What a gem of a place, a definite must to visit.
