Mormon History Tours
( LDS Church History Tours including ISRAEL & ENGLAND )
by
Mormon Heritage Association

 More than history!

Mormon Heritage Association offers unique, modestly-priced LDS Church history tours. Sites are relived in historical order so complex history is easily followed.  In the spirit of a fine gospel doctrine class, inspiring history is taught right where it happened!  Each day begins with a hymn and a prayer on the bus and ends the same way. 

Goose-bumpy, spiritual participation opportunities are offered to tour members. Some are given scriptures to read at sacred sites, prophesying glorious future events.  Some represent historical figures such as Emma Smith, Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris, Mary Fielding, and others, by presenting rehearsed scripts recounting their struggles, hopes, sorrows, faith, courage and blessings we have received as a result.  Some tour members read inspiring historical accounts as we visit the sites where they occurred.  Others bless or serve food, conduct hymns, or assist those who need help with their luggage.  And some simply prefer to "observe."  These tours can be and have been life changing and priority changing for many tour members.  We know of at least 70 couples who decided to serve missions at places such as Independence, Adam-ondi-Ahman, Nauvoo, Palmyra, Kirtland after participating in one of these tours.  Pending divorces have been called off, young people have experienced a change of heart and returned home to submit mission applications.  One senior couple, who met on one of these tours, married in the temple a few months later. 

A tour priority is effective use of time so that you get to do more of what you came for and in less time without being rushed.  For example, all meals are included in the tour price so that they can be pre-arranged, and ready when we arrive!  Over the course of a tour, this saves hours over your having to decide where to eat, get waited on, food prepared & served, eat and then pay the bill.  Most tour members praise the food.  In fact, they praise the whole tour!  Some do the same tour a second time and take along loved ones so they can have the same experience.  Many have written letters of appreciation.  And the good word is spreading abroad, too!  Church members have flown all the way from East Germany, Japan, Australia, and India just to have the unforgettable, inspiring experience of a Mormon Heritage Tour!

CHURCH HISTORY TOURS ABROAD

AWESOME ISRAEL 
November 2008: 

The ultimate church history tour!  It is where our Lord, Jesus Christ was born, confounded the learned scholars in the temple at age 12, walked on the sea of Galilee, fed thousands with just a few fishes and loaves, healed the sick, raised the dead, atoned for our sins on the cross and resurrected after three days.  It is also the land of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Kings Saul, David, and Solomon.  This AWESOME ISRAEL tour recounts these colossal events recorded in the bible, at the sites where they occurred.  You return with an appreciation impossible to get any other way. 
An incredible experience!   Click here for more information.   Register...

CHURCH HISTORY TOURS IN THE U.S.

Two different tours of modest length and cost are generally offered rather than one longer more expensive tour.  You can do them both the same year if you have the time, or you can do one this year and the other the next.  Thus, you miss fewer work days in one year. 
However, for those who can be gone from home longer, we offer these two tours combined into a twelve-day, Grand Tour at a fantastic price!

• Whenever possible, tour dates are selected for light crowds and moderate temperatures.  Click on the name of the tour listed below in blue for details and prices.

• Prices include:  round-trip SLC airfare, all meals, lodging, charter bus, tickets to scheduled events, and guide services.  Nothing is added to these modest prices.  Credit offered if you don't need our air transportation.

If your group prefers different dates for travel, please call us at 801-272-5601(or 866-335-5601 toll free) to discuss adding a tour at your preferred time.

TOUR III  GRAND TOUR - Combined TOURS I and II in an inspiring 12-day adventure!
This GRAND TOUR combines the sites from the Palmyra to Kirtland tour and the Missouri - Nauvoo - Winter Quarters tour.  A superb value for those who can be gone for 12 days.  Doing both at once saves a full day in transit and considerable airline costs, too.  We preserve historical order of the two tours' sites by flying rather than driving to Independence from Kirtland.  Each year, more people come from far away places such as Australia just to take this tour after having heard rave reviews from their comrades!

Mormon Heritage Association also offers tours customized for extended families, family organizations, and other such groups.  These are particularly inspiring.  Not only do you experience the church history where it happened, the sites and contributions of your ancestors are emphasized.  You especially enjoy the company of your known relatives, and you likely will get acquainted with some you did not previously know.  We suggest you consider tour I or II above with some modifications to emphasize sites or events of your ancestors.  Call 801-272-5601 to learn about a possible tour customized for your extended family organization.
