Peter and Mary Whitmer Home

The Whitmers were a German immigrant family who sheltered Joseph and Emma Smith in their home. Here, Joseph completed the Book of Mormon translation and received revelations from the Lord for the Whitmers and other early converts. Some of the Whitmers were chosen as witnesses of the Book of Mormon. In the Whitmer log home the restored Church of Jesus Christ was formally organized on April 6, 1830.

“[Joseph Smith] shalt be called a seer, a translator, a prophet, an apostle of Jesus Christ, an elder of the church through the will of God the Father, and the grace of your Lord Jesus Christ,

“Being inspired of the Holy Ghost to lay the foundation thereof, and to build it up unto the most holy faith” (Doctrine and Covenants 21:1–2).
