Dinner and Dance

Friday's dinner was YUMMY Chinese!! After filling up, everyone got to boogie down!







Independence Visitors' Center

We took the historic tour at the Independence Visitors' Center.















A discovery of Church sites in Missouri begins at the Independence Visitors' Center. This newly remodeled center honors the past and the present, with exhibits depicting experiences of Mormon settlers in Missouri between 1831 and 1839, as well as exhibits on the importance of families, messages from modern prophets, and the Book of Mormon.

Richmond

In Richmond, we were able to see the historic cemetery and the square.

























The Richmond Pioneer Cemetery was first established as a "public burying ground". It was the final resting place of Oliver Cowdery, members of the Peter Whitmer, Sr. family and others. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have maintained the site since 1949.
