Adam-ondi-Ahman is a historic site in Daviess County, Missouriabout five miles south of Jameson. It is located along the east bluffs above the Grand River. According to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), it is the site where Adam and Eve lived after being expelled from theGarden of Eden. They believe it will be a gathering spot for a meeting of the priesthood leadership, including prophets of all ages and other righteous people, prior to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. | |||
The Latter Day Saints proposed to build a temple there. Such efforts were halted in the 19th century as a result of the1838 Mormon War to evict the Latter Day Saints from Missouri. Their having declared Adam-ondi-Ahman as a sacred site for a temple was a flash point in that confrontation.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-ondi-Ahman Adam-ondi-Ahman]</ref> | |||
