While Vermont isn’t especially known for its extravagant Christmas light displays, there are still a few places throughout the state that go all out when it comes to decking the halls with Christmas lights and decor. One of those places is the Joseph Smith Birthplace Memorial in South Royalton, Vermont. If you’re in the area, it’s well worth the small detour to drive through and marvel at the beautiful Christmas lights.
Throughout the year, the Joseph Smith Birthplace Memorial stands as a place for people to gather and commemorate the life of Joseph Smith, the first president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
