Quote: LOL Never heard of Mormons coming to Palmyra looking for their birthplace. Of course it has been along time since I lived there.
What is the connection between Palmyra and Mormons?
The Palmyra in NY is where Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon religion, supposedly (sorry if there are any Mormons here, but that's just what I believe!) found tablets that became the foundation of their religion. So that's where it all began. You wouldn't believe how many Mormons I went to school with! They still have a huge temple there, and every year they hold a pageant telling the story of their religion. It's also hilarious to see them come from all over the country to see the pageant every year. They stand on street corners and take pictures of the "Welcome to Palmyra" sign... I want to open the window and shout, "It's only Palmyra!"
