This is where Joseph and Emma lived while he did
most of the translation of the Book of Mormon

This depicts their bedroom.  The cradle was for their
first baby who died and is buried in the cemetery nearby.
On the bed was an actual gift Joseph had given Emma.
It was made of turtle shell and was to be worn in her hair.

They call this the translation table where much of the work
of translating the Book of Mormon would have been done.

This statue was put here in 1960 in recognition of
the restoration of the priesthood.
