"For nearly two centuries, the Hill Cumorah-- located in Manchester, New York-- has held historical significance for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Millions from across the globe have visited the hill in commemoration of the sacred events that took place there in the 1820s. The bicentennial of Joseph Smith's first visit to the Hill Cumorah will occur in 2023, and 2027 will mark the two hundredth anniversary of his obtaining the Book of Mormon plates from the angel Moroni. Over the past two hundred years, visitors have witnessed the Hill Cumorah's landscape change from a quiet and dense forest, to a bucolic pastureland, to a tourist-centered gathering place, and eventually to a performance venue equipped to accommodate thousands of visitors. Throughout it all, millions of people have experienced this sacred site of the Restoration. In an effort to elucidate intentions to rehabilitate the Hill Cumorah in light of the upcoming bicentennial anniversaries, this article addresses how the restored Church of Jesus Christ has sought to use and preserve the hill as a part of its sacred religious heritage over time."
