About

Historical Landmark

The Far West Temple Site, located several miles northwest of Kingston, Missouri, is where Latter-day Saints began to build a temple in July 1838. Serving as the Church headquarters for a short time, Far West, in Caldwell County, Missouri, was also the location where the Lord revealed the full name of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and established the law of tithing.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints historical site. Was set apart and started before they were chased out of Missouri for religious beliefs. No charge. Just an opportunity to understand.
