John Johnson Farm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The farm of John Johnson in Hiram, Ohio is a key location in the history of the Latter Day Saint movement and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Movement founder Joseph Smith, Jr. accepted Johnson's invitation to reside on the farm in September 1831. The farm was the headquarters of Smith's Church of Christ from September 1831 until March 1832, and the farm was the site of several important revelations to Smith and other church leaders.[1][2]
In 1956, the LDS Church purchased the farm property and today the church uses the farmhouse as a tourist attraction[3] and the farm property as a church welfare farm.[1]
