Hill Cumorah PageantJuly 13 – 18, 2020

 

Join us on a spiritual journey as we attend the Hill Cumorah Pageant and the sacred Restoration sites of Palmyra, Fayette, Susquehanna, and Kirtland!  Be taught while traveling and on site by historical guides, set apart missionaries, and each other.  Hear the stories and read the revelations at the actual sites where they took place.  We won’t just talk about the history of these places, but how the stories of the past can help us draw closer to the Savior in our everyday lives! **The Hill Cumorah Pageant will be discontinued after the July 2020 performances.  See this Pageant now before it is gone forever**
