Palmyra, New York

We went to Palmyra, NY for the Hill Cumorah Pageant. The Pageant was good, but what we really loved was all of the church history sites. We got to go to the printing press where copies of the Book of Mormon were printed. We toured the John Whitmer Farm and saw the building where Joseph Smith translated portions of the Book of Mormon. We visited the sacred grove which was beautiful and amazing despite the pouring rain. From there we toured a replica of the house where Joseph lived when he was 14 and saw the Palmyra temple through the trees. It was very cool to be in this wonderful historical and spiritual place. We had a great trip.
