Praise to the Man...

So, on Saturday of our visit with Grandma, we went to Sharon,VT. It is the birthplace of the Prophet, Joseph Smith. It is a beautiful piece of property with a visitor's center and many historical things to look at. There is an obelisk there that is the actual memorial for Joseph Smith. It rises 38 1/2 feet tall. Which is one foot for each of the Prophet's years of life. It is made entirely from one piece of granite. Amazing! It was dedicated on December 23, 1905 which was 100 years to the day of the Prophet's birth. The only remaining pieces of the actual house the Prophet was born in is a hearthstone from the fireplace and also the foot stone for the front door. Also on the property is the foundation remains of the Solomon Mack(Lucy Mack's Parents) home and the Daniel Mack(Lucy's Brother) home. It was such a great experience.
