Whitmer Farm -- Fayette, NY

This is the circular driveway into the Whitmer Farm Historic Site, the leaves on the trees are beginning to change colors. There is a nice breeze to furl the flag.


This is the Whitmer log home which has been reconstructed on the exact spot where the original home was built. This is where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was organized on April 6, 1830. And the first three Conferences of the Church were held here. In 1980 the April General Conference of the Church originated from here to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Church, Pres. Kimball was here and dedicated the log home and the Fayette Ward bldg. at this time.
