The Peter Whitmer Farm was an amazing place to visit. It was in this log home that the Church was organized at April 6,1830. They packed 60 people into that little cabin!
Joseph and Emma lived here for 6 months and during that time Joseph and Oliver finished translating the Book of Mormon. Also, on this property Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris, and David Whitmer were shown the gold plates.
The church does such a great job preserving these church sites. I didn't get a picture because it was a down pour outside, but there is the most beautiful stake center right on the farm. In 1980 President Kimball prod cast General Conference from that Stake Center. It's a pretty cool place and means a lot to me as a member of the true church.
