Sacred Space: Exploring the Birthplace of Mormonism

By Michael Hubbard MacKay

Addresses and explores evidence both for and against Fayette, New YOrk (specifially the Peter Whitmer farm), as the Restoration site of the Church. It strives to convince readers that although many significant events occurred in Manchester during the Restoration period according to historical recodrd, the official establishment meeting of the Church took place in Fayette. The book points out that the geography of historical events is tied to their sacredness and, when understood properly, can serve to connect members and visitors with the past.
