Palmyra Trip--Part 3: The Smith Farm Complex

After walking through the Sacred Grove, we took a tour of the Smith Farm Complex (their Log Home, Frame Home, Threshing Barn, and Cooper Shop).

First on the tour was the Log Home.

Grace loved walking around the farm!

It was so neat to see and be in the places where so much history concerning the receiving and translating of the Book of Mormon took place. A great tour!
