The face of this statue was molded from the actual death mask of Joseph Smith.

The road driving up to the visitors center

Last Saturday we took a day trip and drove to Vermont. Our friend, Dan that we know from Salt Lake is from Vermont and we had heard how beautiful it is there. Also, in Sharon, Vermont, there is a visitors center near the home of where Joseph Smith was born.
We began in Rhode Island where the leaves are beginning to change. You could see patches of reds, yellows, and oranges here and there amongst the greens. As we drove north the trees became more dense and the range of colors more unbelievable! It is just amazing and awe-inspiring to see such beautiful creations. We had a great day!
