Museum of Wooden Architecture, Suzdal, Vladimir region, Russia
Pushkarskaya Street
The Museum of Wooden Architecture and local life-style is located on Kamenka River, where the first monastery of the city was founded: Dmitrievsky Monastery.
The creation of the museum dates back to the 1960s. Threatened works of architecture were taken to the museum such as: monuments of worship, wooden houses and other wooden buildings. They came from villages and towns of the region. The ensemble contains some of the most interesting wooden constructions: the Church of Transfiguration from Kozliatevo village, the Resurrection Church from Potakino village, windmills, granaries, wheat dryer, wells and other monuments of Russian traditional architecture. The museum is set as a village with a main street, houses, worship centers, etc.
Russia's holy wood. Ancient Russian architecture through a British photographer’s lens (Trailer)
Fall in love with Russia's wooden churches like the architectural photographer Richard Davies has as he takes you on a journey exploring the north of Russia.
Economically poor, but culturally rich, that’s Richard Davies’s image of Russia’s contemporary north. He is an architectural photographer from London who takes a fascinating and thought-provoking journey to the shores of the White Sea to explore the region’s famous wooden churches.
Once inside any one of these ancient buildings, the magnificent interiors become apparent and it’s not so hard to see that they were built to glorify God. They are the product of true craftsmanship, each individual piece of wood was painstakingly shaped and prepared, it’s said that no nails were used to build these churches. This is why the local people see the wooden structures as “treasures” that must be preserved.
Against the backdrop of Russia’s spectacular landscapes, nature and villages, Richard explains why he is convinced that the architecture in this far-flung region is so distinctive and unique.
Trekking through challenging terrain, the photographer explores this rural backwater and discovers that the architecture is filled with a keen sense of life and faith in God. An insight into how religion in Russia developed under the influence of diverse political regimes. A chance to experience the charm and mystery of these wooden places of worship.

200 Years Old at the Baptist Church of Perry!
From the original records that still exist, we know a small group of new Western New York settlers came together in 1818 and established a Baptist Church in Perry, NY.
This is a look at just some of that rich history!
Footnotes: On August 23rd, 2019, the cornerstone, mentioned in this video, was opened! Inside were the very things in the original list! The metal box was almost all disintegrated, and some of the items were in badly deteriorated state. There were a few surprises as well, such as some coins!
Some day, we will compile some items from the current era and replace the time capsule into the cornerstone. If the Lord tarries, perhaps in 100 years, it will be opened with awe by the future generations!
