I have been both in the early summer when all is verdant and green and the late fall when all is brown and dull. Summer is better. There is very little informative signage so study the history before coming to make the most of a visit. Bathrooms available at the main site, hiking trails at the Tower Hill site. No guided tours or visitors center.
Scenery representative of rolling hills in western Missouri and eastern Kansas. Visited 2 November Mary Idaho Falls, ID 2 contributions. Gorgeous views and peaceful feelings. Definitely a must see but take time to stop and just enjoy the peacefulness. Kim A 37 contributions. We expected a little more like a visitor center. It is nothing more than beautiful woods, view and landscape. Great to see once, easy to get to, nice place to picnic. Limited activity but spiritual relevance. Long ride out of KC but nice to have seen for the religious perspective of the early saints of Zion.
But it is very pretty and ultra peaceful. It is quite a drive from KC. Once was enough. I had submitted a review at the time, and it came up today June as unfinished. Such efforts were halted in the 19th century as a result of the Mormon War to evict the Mormons from Missouri. Their having declared Adam-ondi-Ahman as a sacred site for a temple was a flash point in that confrontation.
After the Mormons were evicted, residents renamed the site Cravensville. It was the site of a skirmish during the American Civil War on August 4, , when Union troops attempted to stop Confederate reinforcements in the First Battle of Independence. Six Confederates were killed and 10 wounded. The Union forces had five wounded. Most of the site is now owned by the LDS Church and remains predominantly used as farmland.
Be the first to add a review to the Adam-ondi-Ahman. Problem with this listing? You can learn about early efforts to establish Zion and about prophetic leadership, revelation, and the dedication of early members of the Church during times of adversity. Other places of interest are in the same general area.
All the sites are accessible to visitors with disabilities. Missionaries will guide your tours at two of the sites, and your visits at the other sites will be self-guided. You can prepare physically by wearing good walking shoes and, if you are visiting outdoor sites, by taking plenty of water to drink and applying sunscreen and insect repellent, depending on the time of year.
Missionaries will guide your tour there. You will learn about the experiences of early Latter-day Saint settlers in Missouri and about Jesus Christ, families, latter-day prophets, and the Book of Mormon. If you do not have that much time, missionaries can adjust the tour to meet your needs. The land is now owned by the Church of Christ.
For information on the temple lot, click or tap here. The saints settled in Adam-ondi-Ahman in for a brief time before moving on. It is believed that Adam-ondi-Ahman will be the location where Adam and his righteous posterity will gather in preparation for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Adam-ondi-Ahman has been kept from visible development through the efforts of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saint.
There are restroom facilities and benches near the viewing areas. This area is not developed as a tourist site and there are no guides and very little information on site to tell you what happened at this location. If you want more information on what this site is all about you need to do some research prior to your visit.
