Kirtland Temple, Kirtland

The most amazing spirit I have ever felt, and most amazing place I have ever been! I was there with a large group, and our meeting had a good portion of us in tears from the sheer power of it all! It is truly so amazing to been in a building where Christ himself has literally stood, and to see the workings of a modern prophet. Everyone should take the opportunity to go there eventually, and feel the power of standing where Christ did.

Wonderful historical experience reflecting on the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. So cool to see where the prophet Joseph Smith received inspiration for his followers. To see the remains of a curtain or veil system used to create partitions in the worship area.

Emotionally & spiritually moving experience. Start in the visitor center & be prepared to see such awe inspiring beauty when the movie ends, the curtain opens and the tour begins. Temple architecture is on another level of beauty, design, & function. It's one that mixes different styles like Federal, Greek Revival, & Gothic Revival architecture. Kirkland Temple was the 1st LDS temple which means it's is extra special. Visiting Kirkland is on another level & should be on your list of places to experience. Don't forget to travel down the hill to join the guided tour of the sawmill, homes, and general store that is part of this historical area. 45 mins away is Johnson Farm too. Bring a picnic basket and enjoy lunch here.

If you want to enter the Temple and you're not a member it's very easy just go see a missionary 😁 as far as entering this sacred building, it's now a place of business so you can enter during business hours, this isn't owned by the LDS church like other Temples. It's beautiful to see how it was built, it used to be a functional Temple!

No building access and parking is at the nearby Visitor Center at 7809 Joseph St (corner of Joseph and Chillicothe Roads). So pulled on a side road to do a walk about. Fencing and nice landscaping surrounds the structure. It is on a hill top. No street light to entrance or exit. Small cemetery next to it. It was a lovely walk with late sun lighting building and headstones. Reopens March 1, 2023.
