The newly-designed Mormon History Room at the Ray County Museum will officially open to the public at 5 p.m. May 30. A ribbon cutting is planned with speakers, music and refreshments. Everyone is invited.
The exhibit honors early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) and settlers who played a role in the history of Richmond including the Whitmer and Cowdery families and Alexander W. Doniphan.
“Our purpose was to update it so it really reflected Richmond and was not just a resume of the history of the church,” said President George Van Komen of the Independence Missouri Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “You can’t talk about Richmond without talking about David Whitmer who lived there for almost 50 years. By far he was the most interviewed witness of the Book of Mormon.”
Contributors to the two-year project included historians, interfaith groups, Whitmer family descendents and local citizens.
“It’s obviously a museum room open to the general public but at the same time has really blended the history of the area and the spirit of the church,” said Frank McMillian, historian and writer who helped with the initial designs.
“Mormon history is a part of Ray County history and should be of interest to Ray Countians”, said Jim Carter, president of the Ray County Historical Society.
Carter, a Doniphan historian, was particularly pleased with the information on Doniphan’s interaction with the early Mormon settlers. “He stood up believing that every man had a right to life and he wasn’t going to allow anyone to have that taken from him.”
Visitors to the Mormon History Room will see historical photographs, artifacts and displays detailing Mormon History in Ray County.
The Ray County Museum is at 901 W. Royle Street, Richmond. For information call 816-776-2305
