How the Church Is Preserving the Historic, Sacred Nature of the Hill Cumorah
The decades-long project will reforest the landscape and preserve the memory of the place where Joseph Smith was prepared for his prophetic calling.
With the Hill Cumorah Pageant now in the past, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is engaging in a long-term project to preserve the historic and sacred nature of the area. The Hill Cumorah in Manchester, New York, is where Joseph Smith received visitations from the angel Moroni and retrieved the gold plates that contained the record now known as the Book of Mormon.
