This is the Joseph Smith Cabin. It is not the original cabin, but an exact replica. It is built using logs from near by forests, using the same construction styles of the day. It is located on the exact location of the original cabin, give or take a few inches. I have never gone in this cabin with out feeling the spirit, especially in the upper room where the angel Moroni appeared to young Joseph and told him about the Gold Plates, among other things.
This is Elder Caton. He was our tour guide. He told of his conversion to the church. He said he received a witness that the things he was hearing were true while standing in this very room, listening to much of the same tour he was now giving, years earlier. He is a great disciple of Jesus Christ.
This is the room from which Joseph left early on a clear day in the spring of 1820. He went to the near by grove and asked God which church he should join. In answer to his prayer God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ appeared to him and said that he should not join any of them, but at some future time the Church and Kingdom of God would be restored in its fullness to the earth. I know this event happened. By the power of the Holy Ghost, I have learned for myself. It is true!
