Newel K. Whitney Store

Historic Kirtland, in Kirtland, Ohio, includes a visitors' center and six historic structures: a schoolhouse, a sawmill, an ashery, the Newel K. Whitney and Company store, Newel and Ann Whitney's home, and the Johnson Inn, which now houses historical exhibits.

The Johnson Inn is a rebuilt replica of the structure first built in 1813 by Peter French. The inn purchased by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1833, and served as a temporary printing office, housed the Egyptian mummies purchased by Joseph Smith, Jr., among other historical moments in the Church's history.

Built in 1824, Newel K. and Elizabeth Ann Whitney welcomed Joseph and Emma Smith to live with them here in February 1831. During this time, Joseph Smith received several important revelations for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
