History

The LDS Church purchased the first property in the village, the Newel K. Whitney Store, in the late 1970s, and restored it in 1984.[1][2] In the years since then, the LDS Church acquired more historic buildings and property in the area. In April 2000, plans were announced to restore the remaining buildings, while reconstructing others, building a new visitors center, and rerouting some of the surrounding streets to create a pedestrian-friendly village. Following the completion of the project, LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the site on May 18, 2003.[3]

In 2018, Historic Kirtland Village exhibited nearly 600 nativity displays from around the world as part of an annual Christmas tradition in its 10th year.[4]

The most recent addition to the village is the Joseph and Emma Smith home, located one block north of the Kirtland Temple. The home, purchased by the church in 2012, was dedicated by David A. Bednar on August 26, 2023, following the completion of a restoration project that began in May 2022 to return the house to its 1830s appearance.[5][6]
