Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Located a short distance from the Palmyra New York Temple, the Hill Cumorah Historic Site will be rededicated by Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on Sunday, September 21, 2025. The Church has welcomed visitors to Hill Cumorah since 1928. A monument featuring a statue of the angel Moroni was dedicated on the hill in 1935. The hill was the site of the Hill Cumorah Pageant from 1935 until 2019. It is now being reforested to help visitors focus on its historical and spiritual significance. The 23 buildings and parking areas that supported the pageant were removed. The visitors’ center, built in 2002, was also renovated, featuring new interactive exhibits, a film, artwork, and three new statues of a scene in the Book of Mormon.

The annual presentations of the Hill Cumorah Pageant are scheduled to begin Friday, July 9. Parking and admission are free. No tickets are needed. The Hill Cumorah is located on Highway 21 between the villages of Palmyra and Manchester, New York, two miles north of Interstate 90, Exit 43.

The Hill Cumorah Pageant: America's Witness for Christ opens July 10, 2009, and runs for two weeks. There is no cost and no tickets or reservations required. Just show up to witness this inspiring portrayal of Jesus Christ's visit to the American continent following His resurrection.
