Thursday morning we took the short drive out to the Peter Whitmer farm, the place where the church was first organized in 1830. They now have built up a large chapel there that serves as the stake center for that area. The chapel is built to look like the buildings of that time with old architecture details and high ceilings. After touring through the visitors center portion and viewing artwork depicting the organization of the church, we went to visit the old log cabin. The humble, simple setting of the first official church meeting has come a long way, to meeting in our large comfortable air conditioned church buildings of today.
