Adam-ondi-Ahman, Historic site in Daviess County, Missouri.
The site extends along eastern bluffs above Grand River, consisting of 3,000 acres of agricultural land with natural meadows and wooded areas.
The settlement flourished briefly in 1838 with 200 houses before residents were forced to leave during the Mormon-Missouri conflict that year.
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints consider this location as the place where Adam lived after leaving the Garden of Eden.
The property, maintained by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, includes walking paths and interpretive signs explaining the religious significance.
The area witnessed a Civil War skirmish in 1862 when Union forces attempted to block Confederate reinforcements heading toward Independence.
