LDS Visitors Center, Independence, Religious heritage center in Independence, Missouri.

The LDS Visitors Center features exhibits and interactive displays that explain the beliefs and practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The center stands on land purchased in 1831 by Edward Partridge for Joseph Smith, which later became part of the Greater Temple Lot in Independence.

Missionaries stationed at the center conduct guided tours that share information about early Latter-day Saint settlers, Jesus Christ, and the Book of Mormon.

The center offers free guided tours lasting between 60 and 90 minutes, with missionaries adjusting the duration based on individual visitor requirements.

The building architecture draws inspiration from classical structures, incorporating elements that resemble the design of the ancient Parthenon.
