I love it when I find a good story. Most often they are found among dilapidated structures and definitely off the beaten path. Our trip to New York yielded once such story.
Mormon Folk lore has it that this bar in Geneso Towship in western New York was the Whittle's barn. It was here that the Mormons gathered to worship together. It also provided respite for weary travelers.
Joseph Smith, the prophet, of the Restoration preached here. Today, it a peaceful spot behind a home. The larger structure no longer exists, and its history largely remains unknown.
This stop to me was a treasure!
