Today started out bright and early, and overcast! I was a little worried that it was going to rain, but the forecast called for only cloudy skies.

Our first stop was at the Smith Family farm where we saw the log cabin where the family all lived as well as the room where Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith and told him of the hidden record.

Walking towards the Frame home and barn area you can see the Palmyra temple as it overlooks the Sacred Grove through the trees.

We were able to visit the E.B. Grandin store where the Book of Mormon was first published in 1830. It was a huge publication. 5,000 copies, bound in sheepskin leather, many thought Grandin was a fool to undertake this printing. Martin Harris put up $3,000 worth of his land to pay for the printing.
That first run was the beginning of copies of the Book of Mormon being printed in over 100 languages.

The batteries in both my camera and phone ran out so I'll post photos when I get them from others later on.
It was here in 1820 that the Father and Son appeared to Joseph Smith
