New this year is a 7 day Book of Mormon in the Heartland tour. This week long tour begins in Columbus and takes you to all of the important Mound Builder sites in Ohio including the Great Circle in Newark, Mound City and Fort Hill. We will also see the incredible artifacts at the Johnson-Hummrick House museum, including copper breast plates, head plates, and famous Holy Stones as well as interactive experiences at Fort Ancient.
