The Smith Family Farm was the boyhood home of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement.For travelers who use our online itinerary creator, Palmyra holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Smith Family Farm and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.
The farm—located in the townships of Palmyra, Wayne County and Manchester, Ontario County, New York—includes the Sacred Grove, the Smiths' restored frame home, and a reconstructed log home. The farm site passed into ownership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in 1915, and in the 1990s, the church restored the frame home, reconstructed the log home, and built a welcome center. Church missionaries provide free tours.

One of the most sacred and amazing places I’ve been my entire life! So much history, so much to see and do. I recommend this place to anyone and definitely a must if you’re visiting Palmyra

Great place for kids of all ages (4 to 18). 30 minutes away from the Airbnb we stayed at. We were able to schedule baptisms at the Palmyra Temple that morning and spend the afternoon touring the grove and surrounding sites.
