"The plaque on a monument discussing the importance of Fairport Harbor in Latter-day Saint history. Text reads: ""FAIRPORT IS AN EXCELLENT HARBOR, AND AFFORDS A SAFE MOORAGE FOR SHIPPING"" - SO WROTE OLIVER COWDERY, ONE OF THE FIRST LATTER - DAY SAINT MISSIONARIES TO BRING THE MESSAGE OF THE RESTORED GOSPEL TO THE KIRTLAND REGION. FAIRPORT HARBOR PLAYED A TRANSITIONAL ROLE DURING THE 1830s FOR MANY MORMON MIGRANTS, WHO BELIEVED THEY WERE OBEYING DIVINE INSTRUCTION THAT COUNSELED THEM TO ""GO TO THE OHIO."" HUNDREDS OF CONVERTS PASSED. THROUGH THIS HARBOR ON THEIR WAY TO AND FROM THE TOWN OF KIRTLAND, WHICH LAY JUST TWELVE MILES SOUTHWEST. MANY SAINTS WERE GUIDED BY FAIRPORT'S BEACONS OF LIGHT, WRICH SHONE UPON THE WATERS OF LAKE ERIE. FOR THOSE INCOMING SAINTS, THE FAIRPORT LIGHTHOUSE SIGNALED A NEW RAY OF HOPE, AND FOR THOSE MISSIONARIES EMBARKING FROM HER BANKS, NEW PATHS TO TRAVEL IN THE QUEST FOR MORE CONVERTS TO MORMONISM. THIS WAS A MEANINGFUL PLACE OF COMINGS AND SOINGS. FROM HERE, SIGNIFICANT LATTER-DAY SAINT MISSIONS WERE LAUNCHED. INCLUDING THE FIRST MISSION OF THE QUORUM OF THE TWELVE (1835). AND ALSO THE FIRST MISSION OF THE CHURCH TO ENGLAND (1837). IT WAS ALSO WHERE JOSEPH SMITH GREETED HIS NINETY-THREE-YEAR-OLD GRANDMOTHER, WHO HAD TRAVELED HUNDREDS OF MILES TO SEE HER FAMILY. HERE, LATTER-DAY SAINT FAMILIES WERE CHARGED WITH EMOTION AS THEY GREETED LOVED ONES AND ALSO BID THEM FAREWELL, KNOWING THAT IT WOULD BE MANY MONTHS BEFORE THEY WOULD ONCE AGAIN EMBRACE. FAIRPORT WAS ALSO A PLACE OF ACTIVE COMMERCE THAT INFLUENCED THE DAILY LIFE OF THE SAINTS IN THIS AREA. FROM HERE, NEWEL K. WHITNEY, A MORMON MERCHANT, SHIPPED MANY CASKS OF ASHES FROM HIS KIRTLAND ASHERY TO THE EAST. IN 1847, FAIRPORT REACHED A PEAK IN COMMERCIAL PROSPERITY, WITNESSING NEARLY THREE THOUSAND VESSELS COMING IN AND OUT OF HER HARBOR: YET BY THIS TIME THE SAINTS HAD LEFT THE REGION AND IN THE SAME YEAR HAD BEGUN SETTLING IN THE SAT LAKE VALLEY. FUNDED BY THE MORMOR HISTORIC SITES FOUNDATION"
許多從紐約州西部前往俄亥俄州的聖徒會經過菲爾波特港。後來，聖徒從嘉德蘭出發去傳教時，人有些人會經由菲爾波特港前往嘉德蘭以北和以東地區傳道。約瑟的祖母瑪麗·丟提·斯密前來探望在俄亥俄州的家人時，她的孫子，即當時的先知，親自前往菲爾波特港迎接她。

菲爾波特港促進了俄亥俄州東北部的經濟發展，它是前往穩定成長的東部市場的重要通道。船隻可以這個港口出發，穿越伊利湖前往水牛城、伊利運河，最終抵達匹茲堡、費城、波士頓、華盛頓特區和紐約市。當地的商人，包括約瑟·斯密和紐奧·惠尼，都是經由菲爾波特港寄送和收取貨物。例如，惠尼可能是透過菲爾波特港收取貨品在店舖裡販售，再從嘉德蘭鉀鹼廠將一桶桶的堆灰經由菲爾波特港運送到各地。

如今，在菲爾波特港的航海博物館和燈塔前立有一個標示牌。在航海博物館內有一個展覽廳，名為「菲爾波特港：聚集之門」，講述這個港口在嘉德蘭聖徒的生活中所扮演的角色。
