Erekson recounts the development of the Joseph Smith birthplace, the Church's first attempt at designing a historical site to accommodate visitors. Junius F. Wells was chosen to develop the site. Originally, the Memorial Cottage was meant as a resort or resting place for missionaries traveling to and from foreign countries. It also became a public information bureau and visitors center. Later, agricultural functions were added to what became the Joseph Smith Memorial Farm
