Palmyra

Our next stop was Palmyra, New York. While there we visited the homes of the Smith family.

The larger home the Smith family moved into.

We also visited the Sacred Grove, which is a short walk away from the houses.

The temple peeking through the trees. This is seen on the walk between the two houses the Smith family lived in while in Palmyra.
Here is the Smith Log house where they lived before moving to the larger farmhouse. The Smith family had to move back into this house after some financial problems forced them to sell their larger home.

A first edition Book of Mormon on display at the publication site. The missionaries that gave us the tour said "don't you want to take a picture of it". I guess we had to.

Right down the street from the Book of Mormon printing site was an Italian restaurant. It was good, but all the missionaries were raving about it. I think it is just because there isn't anything else in the town.

Us outside of the Peter Whitmer house. This was a bit off of the beaten path, but was really nice, although the public health department had signs posted stating the water was unsafe to drink. That's what you get in farm country I guess...
