Joseph Smith's home

The Smith's second home (original).

The old home (a replica).

In Palmyra we saw a few different things. We started in the town where we saw the four different churches on the corners of the main town intersection that were involved in some of the religious excitement at the time he was a boy. It was that excitement that led him to pray and ask which church to join, resulting in the first vision. We also saw the printing building where the Book of Mormon was first printed. We then went to the Smith's property where we saw the two homes Joseph Smith lived in. The first- the log cabin from his youth is a replica. The second home has been restored, but is the original home with the original layout and bones. It was cool to see where they lived and things like the very stones he dug up in front of the fire place to hide the plates.
