More Palmyra, NY

     This is at the Peter Whitmer Farm, father of David Whitmer who is one of the three witnesses.  This is was where the Church was reorganized in 1830.

     The sister missionary here told us some really cool stories and miracles that happened to help the Book of Mormon get finished.  

      This is inside the small house, that the Church was reorganized.  There were over 50 people crammed in this room to be a part of this event.

      This is the upstairs room of the Peter Whitmer home, this is where Joseph Smith finished the Book of Mormon.

      These are pictures of the homes of Joseph Smith and his family.  This one is the log home which is really quite small.  The church took many years to study and build it so that they could make it as close to the original as possible. They even used the same tools that they would have used at the time the original was built.

Log Home

      This is inside the frame home of Joseph Smith, it was a lot bigger than they log home.  The sister missionary told a bunch of stories of things that happen inside both homes, like when the mobs would break in and try to look for the Gold Plates, or when the angel Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith during the night to teach him.  These are stories that we have all heard over and over again, but it is different to hear them in the same place that they have happened!
