Cumorah, Mountain in Manchester, United States

Cumorah is a hill near Palmyra that rises about 110 feet above the surrounding terrain. It is covered with mixed hardwood forests and grass-covered slopes throughout.

The hill was formed during the retreat of Ice Age glaciers and rises about 110 feet above the valley floor. Joseph Smith said he visited it each September 22 from 1823 to 1827 and took the golden plates on September 22, 1827. In the 1920s the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints bought the Inglis and Sexton farms covering the hill under president Heber J. Grant.

The hill's name comes from the Book of Mormon, where Mormon hides records in a hill called Cumorah before the final Nephite battle. Local non-members once called it "Mormon Hill" or "Gold Bible Hill". Until 2020 the Hill Cumorah Pageant was staged here almost every year, drawing large crowds.

Visitors can reach the hill through marked trails starting from the parking area. Information signs along the paths help with navigation and explain the landscape.

The hill was called "Mormon Hill" or "Gold Bible Hill" by local non-members, while Latter Day Saints used the name Cumorah from 1829. It has also been called "Inspiration Point". The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints bought the hill and surrounding land in the 1920s under president Heber J. Grant, in two purchases: the 96-acre Inglis farm and the 187-acre Sexton farm.
