Aaronic Priesthood Restoration Site – The Aaronic Priesthood Restoration Site is a nearby historic site comprised of property once owned, and lived on, by Joseph Smith, Jr. A large percentage of the Book of Mormon was translated by Smith while living in the home. According to Smith, the Aaronic priesthood was restored to him and Oliver Cowdery by the resurrected John the Baptist on May 15, 1829 somewhere in the woods near the home. Following their ordination to the Aaronic priesthood the two men baptized each other in the nearby Susquehanna River. Because of the site’s significance to its early history, the site is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS Church). In 1919 the home lived in by the Smiths was destroyed by fire. Between 1947 and 1959 the original property and six additional acres were purchased by the church. In 1960 a monument was added to the site which commemorates the nearby restoration of the priesthood. The monument includes a sculpture by artist Avard T. Fairbanks, depicting John the Baptist conferring the priesthood on Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. Since that time additional property has been purchased, expanding the church's holdings in the area to 157 acres. The most recent acquisition occurred in January 2011, which added 10 acres. In April 2011 the Church announced it would rebuild some historic buildings on the site, reconstructing the homes lived in by Smith and the Hale Family, along with farm out-buildings. A combination visitors center and meetinghouse will be constructed, along with a new monument. Also planned will be the re-routing of Pennsylvania Route 171, which currently splits the historic site in two.
