Did you know that Jesus visited ancient America after His resurrection? And did you know He said He would return to that same location? Knowing the location of Book of Mormon lands is thus very important:

42 And the time cometh that he shall manifest himself unto all nations, both unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles; and after he has manifested himself unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles, then he shall manifest himself unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews, and the last shall be first…  (1 Nephi 13)

Unfortunately, the Mormon Church has taught for more than a century that Book of Mormon lands are in Mesoamerica. We hold to the truth that Book of Mormon lands are where their records were deposited 1600 years ago, and Joseph Smith retrieved them 200 years ago—in Western New York.

Jesus Christ will make His first Second Coming appearance in America at Delaware Park, Tonawanda, New York, where ancient Bountiful Temple stood (now beautifully adorned by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery). As then, so will it be again, the place to see, learn, and be baptized in the same waters (Holy aka Hoyt Lake) that Nephi did—to signify the beginning of the prophesied Millennium of Peace.
