The Smith Farm

Joesph Smith's childhood home. You can see the Palmyra Temple from his front door.

The upstairs bedrooms where Moroni appeared to Joesph Smith. The boys slept in the front and the girls slept in the back bedroom.

There is to much history that I learned to write about it all but I am going to say what stuck out the most to me. To the right of the fireplace is where after praying in the Sacred Grove Joesph came in and leaned against the wall. His mother asked him if he was ok and his response was, "all is well."

The Bible is laid open to James 1:5, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

I also learned how resourceful Lucy Mack Smith was. She would make pies and oil rugs that were sold in town. She paid for everything their household needed except the bank note on the farm. She also had the most envied cooking set up in her fireplace since the #1 cause of death in women back then was having their dresses catch fire from the fireplace while cooking.
