Nestled among the pines of the Catskill Mountains on scenic Highway 23A in upstate New York, St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Eastern Rite is both a spiritual and a cultural center for Ukrainians in the United States. Located on a beautiful hilltop site between the Hunter ski area and Lexington, New York, the church offers visitors an unusual opportunity to learn about traditional Ukrainian Church architecture.

The structures are executed in the traditional (although somewhat modified) timber blockwork style of the Ukrainian Carpathian highlanders - the Hutsuls and the Bojkos.
