John Johnson Farm

The John Johnson farm in Hiram Township, Portage County, Ohio, United States, is a significant location in the history of the Latter Day Saint movement and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Movement founder Joseph Smith accepted John Johnson's invitation to reside on his farm in September 1831. The farm was the headquarters of Smith's church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) from September 1831 until March 1832, and the farm was the site of several revelations to Smith and other church leaders. In 1956, the LDS Church purchased the farm property and used the property as a welfare farm from 1971 to 2002. The home continues to operate as a tourist attraction.
