The Book of Mormon Historic Publication Site is a historic site located in the village of Palmyra, Wayne County, New York, United States. The historic site includes the E.B. Grandin Building, where Egbert B. Grandin printed and sold the first copies of the Book of Mormon between 1829-1830. Because of the building's historical significance to Mormonism, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), purchased it in 1978. In the mid-1990s the LDS Church restored the Grandin building, while remodeling and adding to some neighboring structures to create a visitors' center.
