Joseph Smith Memorial

On our first P Day we chose to take advantage of the 80+ weather to visit the Joseph Smith Memorial. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful place. This granite memorial was placed here in 1905 on the site of the cabin where the Prophet was born. I can't tell you how strong the Spirit was here! The Memorial site covers many acres.

After enjoying the Visitor's Center, we took a path down the hill to the site of the homes of Solomon Mack (Lucy Mack Smith's father) and Daniel Mack (her uncle). It was so peaceful and quiet!
This picture is for Tom. It's a beautiful little stone wall on our path.

I don't know how well you can see this, but it's an old stone bridge which was here when the Mack's and Smiths lived here in 1805. The next picture is Garth who kept saying, "I wonder where they got their water."

I was resting because the path which went down to the water went back up the hill.

Then we went to the small town of Tunbridge, Vermont, where Solomon and Lucy first met at a little country store. There were three covered bridges and this sign was on top of this one.

We really enjoyed our day and certainly felt the hand of the Lord in the beautiful creations.
