Eight Witnesses Monument, Liberty, Missouri
MMFF is set to launch an exciting new marker project.
The proposed marker will be similiar in size and style to the three witnesses marker in the Pioneer Cemetery, in Richmond, Missouri.
The eight witnesses marker will commemorate the lives of the eight witnesses to the Book of Mormon, all of whom lived in Missouri at one time or another.
The marker, to be erected upon a portion of the Michael Arthur Farm, southwest of Liberty, Missouri, will also acknowledge Arthur's significant involvement with the Mormons during the 1830s.
In addition, one face of the four-sided marker will commemorate the disbanding of Zion's Camp and the organization of the Missouri High Council, both of which occured at the Arthur Farm.
Those interested in assisting with this endeavor may contact: MMFF P.O. Box 3186 Independence, Missouri 64055
