In 1999, the nuns of the Abbey decided to begin a daughter foundation, Tautra Abbey, in Tautra, Norway, and five nuns of Mississippi Abbey and two Norwegian nuns from other monasteries arrived there.
Tautersheep is an extinct breed of sheep from the island Tautra in Frosta in Norway.
A large part of the island and its surrounding water is designated as protected under the Ramsar Convention due to the rich bird life in the area.
