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.
