Under-the-Radar Church History Sites

Historical sites of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have many classic tourist sites: Temple Square, Palmyra, Liberty Jail, etc. The classic tourist sites have more in common than just historical significance; they have crowded visitors’ centers and crowded tour groups, too. However, there are a few under the radar sites for the adventurer who wants to seek some of the less known (and less crowded) scenes of church history.

These sites are located everywhere, from Vermont to Wyoming to England. Come see wagon ruts, a baptismal site, and even to an unknown Mormon temple. These sites are bound to catch the eye of any traveler who wants to learn a little more about church history.
