The John Johnson Farm Home 


This is a photo of the John Johnson home in Hiram, Ohio.  John Johnson and his family moved to Ohio from Vermont in 1818 where he built this frame house in 1828-29.  The Johnson family converted to the Church shortly after Joseph Smith arrived in Kirtland (the spring of 1831).  John Johnson invited Joseph and Emma Smith to move into their home in the fall of 1831.  During his stay in the John Johnson home, Joseph Smith received several sections of the Doctrine and Covenants (1, 65, 67, 68, 69, 71, 73, 74, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80,81, 99, 133) including the very important revelation known as The Vision (D&C 76).  He also completed significant portions of the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible.
