Joseph Smith, Sr. and Lucy built a log house in the woods south of the village of Palmyra, New York. Around 1818, they moved their family, including 8 children into the house on the property of 100 acres. Joseph Smith lived in the home in 1820 at the time of his first vision and later with the visitations of the angel Moroni. This replica was built in 1998. Photo taken May 2022.
