At the Joseph Smith Farm Welcome Center, visitors become acquainted with the
Smith family prior to 1816 when they arrived in the Palmyra area. From inside
the Center, large picture windows afford a look back into the past to a time
when the Smith family lived on the farm. The view extends from the
log home on historic Old Stafford Road to the full
expanse of the Sacred Grove. With thriving fruit
orchards, meadows, and fields neatly fenced and tended, the farm looks much as it
would have appeared by 1830, complete with a fine frame
home, large barn and farmyard work areas. Free guided tours
daily.
