With a permanent collection of more than 750 items, the Antiochian Heritage Museum offers visitors a fascinating look at the textiles, inlaid woodwork, metal crafts, jewelry, and religious art of the Near East.
Antiochian Village
The Antiochian Village is owned and operated by the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. The holy Orthodox Christian church was founded by Christ and is described throughout the New Testament.
While visiting the Antiochian Village one can visit the Ss. Peter & Paul Chapel located within the Conference Center on the lower level. This chapel is adorned with Byzantine icons written by iconographer Philip Zimmerman.
The chapel is reserved for Orthodox Christian groups when they use the facility. However, groups of other Christian faiths who confess a belief in the Holy Trinity and whose spiritual and social agendas are generally consistent with those of the Orthodox Christian faith may use the Chapel for their worship services upon approval.
In addition to the Ss. Peter & Paul Chapel, a beautiful meditation hiking trail, is located just behind the museum. This meditation trail has different stations along the way with icons and quotes from Scripture and Church Fathers.
