Joseph and Emma Smith lived in this home for one year. While they were there, Joseph received
16 revelations that are now recorded in the Doctrine and Covenants . He also worked on his
inspired translation of the Bible . President Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Johnson Home on October 28, 2001, after which it was opened to the public.
One night a group of men broke into this home and ripped Joseph from his bed. They forced him outside and carried him to a meadow some distance away, where they tarred and feathered him. The next day, after Emma nursed his wounds and cleaned the tar and feathers from his skin, he delivered a sermon.
Probably the most well-known revelation Joseph Smith received in the Johnson Home is the vision recorded in
Doctrine and Covenants 76 . In that
vision , he and Sidney Rigdon saw God the Father and Jesus Christ and learned of different kingdoms of glory that people will inherit after they are resurrected.
