In Fayette on April 6, 1830 Joseph Smith, who was from nearby Palmyra, New York, organized the Church of Christ, later to be known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in a log home owned by Peter Whitmer, Sr.. Whitmer was one of five others besides Smith who where the initial six members. In 1980 this reconstructed log home, built on the site of the original Whitmer home, was dedicated as part of the sesquicentennial celebrations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The dedication was done by then LDS Church President Spencer W. Kimball and was broadcast by satellite, as part of the semi-annual church General Conference, to many LDS stake centers around the world. The Whitmer log home continues to be operated as a religious historical site by the LDS Church. The Christ Evangelical and Reformed Church and William Hoster House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Rose Hill Mansion is a National Historic Landmark. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fayette, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
