The story
Historic Kirtland Village is a historic district in Kirtland, Ohio, United States. It is owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The district is made up of buildings and sites important to the early Latter Day Saint movement. Some of the buildings are original and have been restored to their 1830s appearances, while others were rebuilt on or near their original sites. In addition to Historic Kirtland, the LDS church also owns and operates the nearby Kirtland Temple, the Isaac Morley Farm just east of Kirtland in Kirtland Hills, and the John Johnson Farm in Hiram.
