Book of Mormon Historic Publication Site, Religious publication site in Palmyra, New York, United States.
The E.B. Grandin Building in Palmyra is a three-story structure where a major religious text was printed in 1829, with retail space on the ground floor and production areas above. The rooms include the original sales counter, a printing room, and a binding workshop where books were finished.
Printer Egbert B. Grandin produced several thousand copies of a religious text at this location in 1829. The building continued to serve as a significant printing operation for the region in the following decades.
The building displays printing presses and binding equipment that show how religious works were produced in the early 1800s. Visitors can see the different stations where workers handled each step from typesetting to finishing the books.
The building is free to visit and guests can take guided tours that show all areas of the site. The tour covers every floor and provides direct access to see the historical spaces and equipment.
The chief typesetter John H. Gilbert worked at this printing operation for decades, shaping local craft traditions. His long career in one location shows how the business remained stable across multiple generations.
