Hill Cumorah

Last week Sam and I went to the Hill Cumorah Pageant in Palmyra, NY. We headed up to New York in the morning and stopped in Ithaca on the way--Sam wanted to check out Cornell as a business school possibility. We checked out the campus and the town for a couple hours then headed up to Palmyra.

We got to Palmyra a few hours before the Pageant started so we checked out some of the historical sights. We took the tour at the Smith farm and went to the Sacred Grove. Unfortunately it rained all afternoon, so we didn't get to do as much as we would have liked. Here are some pics from the farm.

The Pageant was great though. I'd never seen it before, so I was pretty excited. It's amazing that they get 700 people together, audition them all in a day and spend a week rehearsing for this huge production. It was very impressive. There were quite a few people from church here in State College that perform in the Pageant, so it was fun to see them up there. I didn't get any good pics from the show, but here's one of Sam and me sitting in the rain.
