Description: The homesite of Joseph Smith, Jr. and his wife Emma Smith. The homesite is part of the Aaronic Priesthood Restoration Site, and is located in Oakland Township, Pennsylvania, United States (historically the Harmony Township). Joseph and Emma arrived here in December 1827 and had a home, built by Emma's brother Jesse Hale in the 1820s, moved to this location. Joseph and Emma's first child, Alvin, was born and died in the home (he is buried just east of the site in the McKune Cemetery). The Smiths moved away in August 1830 and the home was destroyed in 1919. Since the 1940s The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been acquiring the land where Joseph and Emma lived and nearby property to protect the historic site.
