Grandin Building — where the Book of Mormon was published.
Hill Cumorah — where Joseph Smith met annually with the angel Moroni before being allowed to obtain the gold plates.

Kirtland, Ohio, the first gathering place of the Latter-day Saints, and where they built their first temple.
Johnson Home — in Hiram, Ohio, where Joseph and Emma Smith lived for one year and where he received 16 revelations.

Adam-ondi-Ahman — located in Daviess County, 70 miles northeast of Independence, Missouri. This is where Adam and Eve first dwelt when they left the Garden of Eden. Three years before his death, Adam called his posterity together, blessed them, and the Lord appeared unto them. It is also "the place where Adam shall come to visit his people, or the Ancient of Days shall sit, as spoken of by Daniel the prophet.”[2]
Liberty Jail Historic Site where Joseph Smith and others were imprisoned.
Far West Temple Site
Hawn's Mill Site
Independence, Missouri, Visitors' Center

Priesthood Restoration Site in Oakland Township, Pennsylvania — where most of the Book of Mormon was translated; John the Baptist appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in a nearby forest and restored the Aaronic Priesthood to the earth; Joseph and Oliver baptized each other in the Susquehanna River.
