HILL CUMORAH PAGEANT
Hill Cumorah was where Joseph Smith dug up the Golden Plates which - with the help of an angel named Moroni - were translated into the Book of Mormon. This event and the events described inside that book are celebrated in big time Disneyesque fashion every summer for seven performances featuring a cast of hundreds of Latter Day Saint performers. The shows are very popular and you need to get there hours before the sunset opening if you want a decent view. You can bring along your own picnic dinner or buy something from the local service club tents. I have not been to the performances but non-Mormon friends from the area have and they say the show is memorable. A ‘must see’ if you are in western New York during early July.
