Road to Zion 2: The Gathering Place - Kirtland Historic Village (2005)
Road to Zion was a short travelogue from BYU TV that visited various location from Church History. While often a tad short on providing full context, its main audience was not historians but lay members simply looking for a fun trek through Church History sites.
In 1831, with almost 300 members scattered throughout the states of New York and Ohio, the infant Church needed a gathering place. With increasing membership in Ohio and growing hostility in New York, Kirtland, Ohio, was the ideal place. In this episode, you will arrive in Faithport Harbor by boat and visit Historic Kirtland Village, with a special tour of the Kirtland Temple.

Steve Young's Kirtland Story - June 2015
A very cool story about how Steve Young helped Karl Anderson and the Mayor of Kirtland, Ohio get the votes needed to have the main road of Kirtland moved, so Historic Kirtland could be preserved.
This video was recorded in June 2015 when we were on a youth conference trip with the Seneca Maryland Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints visiting Kirtland and we happened to bump into Steve Young, who then asked us if we had heard the story of the getting the main road of Kirtland moved.

Mooreland Mansion, built in 1898 as the summer home for the family of transportation magnate Edward Moore, has been restored and is part of Lakeland Community College as an elegant wedding and meeting venue.
When Edward Moore had his Mooreland mansion built in 1898, it was his summer country home.
Designed by Edward Oviatt in neo-classical style and surrounded by more than 1,300 acres, including a working farm, the 44-room, 20,000-square-foot home allowed Moore's seven-member family to escape the heat of Cleveland in summer. He and his wife, Louise Chamberlain Moore, had five children: Margaret, Franklyn, Kathryn, Edward Jr. and Elizabeth.
The home was enlarged in 1906 by architect Milton Dyer, who later designed Cleveland City Hall. Landscape architect A. Donald Gray designed the layout of the first in-ground swimming pool in Lake County, fountains, rose gardens and a nine-hole golf course.
There also was a petting zoo area for the children, a tennis court and two orchards. Water for the swimming pool was pumped up from the Chagrin River.

Kirtland Air Force Base: History About One of The Largest Base in The World
Kirtland Air Force Base: History About One of The Largest Base in The World
Kirtland Air Force Base was named for Colonel Roy C. Kirtland (1874–1941) in February 1942. Colonel Kirtland learned to fly in 1911 in one of the first Wright airplanes at Dayton, Ohio. During World War I he organized and commanded a regiment of mechanics, and served as an inspector of aviation facilities. Recalled from retirement in 1941 at the age of 65, the oldest military pilot in the Air Corps, he died of a heart attack on 2 May 1941 at Moffett Field, California.
Kirtland Air Force Base has changed a great deal since its establishment as a US Army airfield in 1941. It has evolved from a hastily constructed training and testing facility necessitated by the onset of World War II to a significant USAF center for R&D. What began as a 2,000-acre air base has grown into a 51,800-plus-acre facility.
Kirtland Air Force Base is a United States Air Force base located in the southeast quadrant of the Albuquerque, New Mexico urban area, adjacent to the Albuquerque International Sunport. The base was named for the early Army aviator Col. Roy C. Kirtland. The military and the international airport share the same runways, making ABQ a joint civil-military airport.
Kirtland AFB is the largest installation in Air Force Global Strike Command and sixth largest in the Air Force. The base occupies 51,558 acres and employs over 23,000 people, including more than 4,200 active duty and 1,000 Guard, plus 3,200 part-time Reserve personnel. In 2000, Kirtland AFB's economic impact on the City of Albuquerque was over $2.7 billion.
Kirtland is the home of the Air Force Materiel Command's Nuclear Weapons Center (NWC). The NWC's responsibilities include acquisition, modernization and sustainment of nuclear system programs for both the Department of Defense and Department of Energy.The NWC is composed of two wings–the 377th Air Base Wing and 498th Nuclear Systems Wing–along with ten groups and 7 squadrons.
Kirtland is home to the 58th Special Operations Wing (58 SOW), an Air Education and Training Command (AETC) unit that provides formal aircraft type/model/series training. The 58 SOW operates the HC-130J, MC-130J, UH-1N Huey, HH-60G Pave Hawk and CV-22 Osprey aircraft. Headquarters, Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center is also located at Kirtland AFB. The 150th Special Operations Wing of the New Mexico Air National Guard, an Air Combat Command (ACC)-gained unit, is also home-based at Kirtland.
origins. Kirtland Air Force Base's beginnings stem from three private airfields of 1928-1939 and are similar to that of other installations choosing to adapt existing runways and hangars for military use.
In 1928, Frank G. Speakman and William L. Franklin, two Santa Fe Railroad employees, had inaugurated a private venture for an airport. Working with the town of Albuquerque, they graded two runways on East Mesa with one approximately 5,300 feet long and the other just under 4,000 feet. Albuquerque Airport was wholly a private venture, irrespective of the town's involvement. Immediately following construction of the airport, other individuals and promoters became interested in Albuquerque as a crossroads location for southwestern air traffic. James G. Oxnard, a New York entrepreneur, bought Franklin's interest in Albuquerque Airport, expanding the facility toward the end of 1928.
The airfield soon drew business from private flyers, as well as Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT) and Western Air Express (WAE), commercial airlines that set up operations at the new airport. The city's viability as a crossroads of air traffic in the Southwest was confirmed by this early success. As the 1920s closed, two airlines initiated competitive passenger, mail and cargo service between the Midwest and California, positioning Albuquerque as an important transcontinental airfield.
WAE soon moved to the West Mesa Airport and was joined by TAT as the two airlines merged to become Trans World Airlines (TWA). This new facility, also private, became known as Albuquerque Airport, and the first, which was renamed Oxnard Field, also continued to service general aviation needs. In the mid-1930s, Mayor Tingley, other city officials, and TWA management began to conceive of a municipal airport, the next necessary step in confirming Albuquerque's status as a “Crossroads of the Southwest.” With the help of President Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration (WPA) funds, a new airport was begun four miles west of Oxnard Field and completed in 1939, on the cusp of World War II.

Financing the Work of the Restoration: Beginnings of the United Firm in Kirtland, Ohio
Ancient Ruins of America (1978)
Effervescent Los Angeles bishop Jack West narrates a slide show of his many travels throughout Central and South America for a fireside of Latter-day Saints. This slideshow led to a popular book on the subject and was a popular filmstrip displayed by many missionaries and members in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Many of Jack's claims of how ancient ruins and modern Native Americans relate to the narrative of the Book of Mormon are no longer held as valid by LDS scholars, but his assertions are still very much alive among popular LDS conceptions of Mesoamerican and Inca history and iconography.
This fireside was never officially published by BYU or ever officially backed by LDS leadership, but its influence among American Latter-day Saints' cultural understandings of the native peoples of Central and South America is undeniable.

Orson, Parley & William Pratt - Kirtland Temple
Karl Anderson, a Kirtland historian, describes the involvement of Orson, Parley and William Pratt with the Kirtland temple.
This video comes from extra interview footage that was unused in the production of the DVD, Five Pratt Brothers: Builders of Zion. For more information about the DVD or to purchase a copy, visit
The five Pratt brothers were major players in some of the most significant events of the Nineteenth Century in America. They played a major role in the greatest religious movement in American history. They were close friends of Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet, of whom there has probably been more written than of any other American religious leader.
They were driven from their homes several times in the greatest religious persecution ever known in this country.
They crossed the Great Plains as part of one of the greatest migrations of our time. They made a significant contribution by building the Western part of this country from nothing but sagebrush to large, successful cities. They founded several communities from Ohio to California.
They were philosophers, explorers, missionaries, Apostles, astronomers, mathematicians, travelers, writers, soldiers, pioneers and martyrs.
Generations before these brothers were born, their Pratt ancestors were making history with their religious beliefs. They were among the first Puritans in England. Driven by persecution, they traveled to America seeking freedom to think and believe as their conscience dictated.
With more than one thousand pictures, their fascinating stories are told by scholars and others who are familiar with their lives. The brothers also tell their story in their own words, through journals, autobiographies and letters.
The production team filmed in the places where the brothers lived, such as Kirtland, Ohio, and Nauvoo, Illinois. They followed them across Iowa, to Winter Quarters and from Winter Quarters to the salt Lake Valley. They also filmed in Arkansas, where one of the brothers was martyred.
No thorough study of American religious history, or of the development of the American West would be complete without a knowledge of the lives and contributions of the Pratt brothers. Their story will inspire all who learn about their lives.
