What is the historical significance of Seneca County to the Mormon Religion?

In 1830, Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon and organized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at the Whitmer Farm in the Town of Fayette (Seneca County). A reconstructed log home and a visitors' center are open to the public and commemorate events associated with the organization of the Church. The visitors' center includes artifacts, a film, and interactive displays about the translation of the Book of Mormon and the founding and growth of the Church.
