Kirtland Ohio Church Sites

Our other stop in Ohio was the church history sites at Kirtland, Ohio.  We love historic sites, and the church sites are always so wonderful to visit. They are always free to visit as well!

At Kirtland, they have a really small but nice visitors center.  They show a film and there are some exhibits as well.  There are sister missionaries there to give tours of the six historic buildings available to visit.   

We did the tour and the kids were very interested in the historic buildings.  The ashery was of particular interest to them, as they showed us how they would burn wood and make potash and pearl ash there and what they did with those products. 

We also visited the temple in Kirtland which is owned by the Community of Christ, but we were unable to visit the visitors center as it was closed at this time. 

After exploring the grounds of the temple, we headed to Pennsyvania and spent some time by the lake.  We got pizza and ice cream and watched the sun go down.  A lovely end to a beautiful day.
