The Trip - Part 9 - Kirtland Ohio

Day 11
After a long drive the night before we arrived in Cleveland, Ohio - right outside of Kirtland.
Another beautiful place! There were wildflowers everywhere we went and bright orange lilies popping up all over the sides of the roads and highways.

We went to tour the Johnson Farm which was a really beautiful house - it's a little bit out of the way but definitely a must see if you're doing Kirtland!

On our way back to Kirtland from the farm I remembered that my grandma was born in Ohio so I called to see which city. I looked it up on the map and we were only a few minutes away from it! I wished we would have had more time to try and find the house she grew up in or at least the street, but we were on a schedule so I only had time to take a quick picture of the city sign.

After stopping for lunch we made our way over to the visitor's center and toured the replicas of the Newel K. Whitney store, as well as their house and the sawmill and ashery which were used in the building of the Kirtland temple.

We were able to see the Kirtland temple from the outside but got there too late for the tour.
We also drove over to the Issac Morley farm which was another beautiful, special little place we were glad we went to.

That night we watched the Kirtland pageant then were on our way again to the next destination
