Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was born near here on December 23, 1805. A visitor's center and a 38½ foot tall monument, considered the world's largest polished granite shaft, is located at the birthplace 2½ miles up Dairy Hill Road, and the site is open year round.
