The N. K. Whitney store was restored from the original building in Kirtland. The N. K. Whitney home was rebuilt in the original location along with the Sawmill, Ashery, and Schoolhouse. This was a fun stop to see the 'School of the Prophets' and learn the importance of the sawmill and ashery in church history.
The final product made at the Ashery, Pearl Ash, sold for $100-$200 a barrel. A substantial profit when considering it only cost about $7.50 in labor, materials and production. N. K. Whitney gave to proceeds from the sales to help build the Kirtland temple. Very generous indeed!
We also toured the Kirtland temple, didn't get any photos because of problems with the camera :(
