This barn was built by my 5th (?) great grandfather John Young and moved to this location. John Young is the father to Brigham Young and Lorenzo Dow Young my 4th great grandfather.
When Joseph Smith Jr. received the gold plates he brought them back to Alvin Smiths home...
The home is 80% original.
He hid them in a box similar to this one on the chest of drawers.
They were also hidden under the bricks by the fireplace. Those are the original bricks.
Joseph Sr. and Lucy Mack Smith's home.
This picture looks a little suspicious. What do you think he is planning to do with that water. ;)
