The Smith Farm
This was were Joseph Smith moved to with his family. It isn't the original log cabin but the church has rebuilt it in the same location and actually used the same kind of tools to reconstruct it. It was really cool to be in such and old house.
This is from the outside looking up at the window into the bedroom that Joseph would have been in when Moroni first appeared to Joseph as an angel. The second pictures is a view of the inside of that bedroom.
Me and getting a picture after the tour.
The Sacred Grove
This is where Joseph Smith had the first vision. Our group was able to walk through and take pictures. I am so glad that the church takes really good care of these sites. It was a little hot but a beautiful day.
It was pretty dark in the grove because of all the trees and plants but I was able to play with the setting on my new camera and came up with some pretty cool pictures. 
The Hill Cumorah
This is the top of the Hill Cumorah where the record of the Book of Mormon was eventually buried and hidden by Moroni only to be later uncovered by Joseph Smith. They have since built a statue of Moroni as an angel.
The Hill Cumorah is the tallest hill in the area so you would get alot of poeple that would just come relax and enjoy the view.

Joseph Smith Sr. Farm
Joseph Smith Farm This is the farm where the records where kept for a long time. I didn't have enough time to go on the tour but I was able to get this picture.
The Grant Building
This is where the first copy of the Book of Mormon was published. It was fun to see how old books were made and the equipment they used.
If you go to this link than you will be able to see a lot more of the pictures I took of the historical sites.

Hey Will! I was excited that you posted more pictures from Cumorah! You really do take great pictures. The church sites are so awesome and I was so glad I had the opportunity to see them, too. I didn't get to go to the printing press, though, so I'm kind of bummed. Great post!
I love the picture of the angel moroni. Your pictures look so professional. I am excited that you took so many. Jamis and I didn't get the chance to take many with all the little boogie noses everywhere.
