Independence Visitors' Center
A discovery of Church sites in Missouri begins at the Independence
Visitors' Center. This 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.
Kansas City Missouri Temple
The distinctive double towers of the Kansas City Missouri Temple rise majestically over I-435 in Kansas City's Northland, just west of the Liberty Jail Historic Site in Liberty, Missouri. The Kansas City Missouri Temple was the second temple built in Missouri, following the St. Louis Missouri Temple (1997), though temple sites were dedicated in the 1830s for temples that were not constructed in Independence, Far West, and Adam-ondi-Ahman.
Historic Liberty Jail
Liberty Jail, where the Prophet Joseph Smith spent approximately five months awaiting trial. While there he received three revelations that are included in the Doctrine and Covenants ( Section 121-123) today.
