The Temple Lot, located in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, is the first site that was dedicated for the construction of a temple in the Latter Day Saint movement. The two-acre site was dedicated in 1831 by movement founder Joseph Smith, Jr. to be a New Jerusalem or "City of Zion" after he received a revelation stating it would be the gathering spot of the Saints during the Last Days. It is currently a field covered with grass with a non-temple church building on it, the headquarters of the Church of Christ (Temple Lot).
