Review Summary
Carl Johnson
Great tour. Original flooring and paintings. Lots of things to see and learn. Great place for kids. Next to book store.
Benjamin Foutz
… informative, I learned some awesome stuff about printing with hands-on examples. They have the original store itself with accurate and interesting historical tidbits.
Dallin Wardrop
… of helpful tours and friendly tour guides. Bottom floor is where the Book store was, 2nd floor is where books were bound and the third floor is where books were printed!
Ben Buchmiller
Very cool historical location in Palmyra, New York. The Grandin Building is where the Book of Mormon was first printed back in the 1800s. When open the tours are quite informative and the tour guides give the viewers / tourist an understanding of how the books were printed.
Gavin Hall
Pretty fun to tie all the history stories to an actual building and physical setting.
Danielle Eaton Hart
Great for children and adults. Free tour lead by friendly sister missionaries or elderly couple. So fun and informative to learn about the old way of printing! Children can do a scavenger hunt and make their own signature (the first 16 pages) of one of the largest orders of copies received for a single book (The Book of Mormon.) We loved the inking balls and learning about the origin of uppercase and lowercase letters.
