Introduction
The Relief Society Foundations tour includes the Lucy Mack Smith Home. As Latter-day Saints prepared to travel west, Brigham Young directed that the Church purchase this home for Lucy Mack Smith, Joseph Smith’s widowed mother.
What to Expect
The Lucy Mack Smith Home is a one-room guided tour of the kitchen and bed alcove. There is an optional upstairs tour of two bedrooms that focuses on the Noble family who lived in the home after Lucy Mack Smith. If you have not already done so, we recommend touring the Hiram and Sarah Granger Kimball Home after the Lucy Mack Smith Home.
