WASHINGTON D.C. — A new visual exhibit, "Where Joseph Walked," has opened at the Washington D.C. Temple Visitors Center.
Beginning at the general store of Tunbridge, Vt., where the young Lucy Mack met Joseph Smith Sr., and ending on the trail walked by Joseph and Hyrum Smith to the jail in Carthage, Ill., the new exhibit features more than 100 photographs of the places walked by Joseph Smith.
Specifically, the exhibit brings the viewer from Vermont westward to upstate New York (Palmyra, Manchester and Fayette), Pennsylvania (Susqhehanna), Ohio, Indiana (Zion's Camp), Missouri (Far West, Adam-Ondi-Ahman, Crooked Creek, Haun's Mill), Iowa and to Illinois (Nauvoo and Carthage).
About 50 of the photographs are by George Edward Anderson and were taken between 1907-1909 on his survey of Church historic sites. An equal number were taken in 1990 by renowned photographer Scot Facer Proctor, the author of several visual books on Church historic sites. Supplementing the exhibit are additional photographs of Liberty Jail and other sites taken by mid-19th century photographers.
