English: Joseph Smith Jr. explained to early church members that this place was where he learned for himself that there was no church yet on the earth that was true. As a 14-year-old boy in 1820, Joseph was seeking to know which church to join and his standing with God. After praying in this grove behind his residence, Joseph stated he saw Jesus Christ and God the Father, whom called him by name and conversed with him, clarifying the answer to his questions and forgiving him of his sins.
