Covid 19 Opening Updates and Visitor Information
After months of closure, many of the Church’s historic sites will open to the public on a limited basis beginning in May. For the protection of missionaries and guests, and in accordance with local regulations, operations at historic sites have been temporarily modified. Thank you for your patience and cooperation to help everyone at these sacred places stay safe and healthy.
General Guidelines for Limited Opening
- Large tour groups cannot be accommodated at this time. Those traveling in large groups will need to break up into smaller groups and schedule their experiences accordingly.
- Sites follow all requirements of local public health departments, including social distancing and the wearing of face masks. Where face masks are optional by law, they may still be required at historic sites in spaces where social distancing is difficult.
- Local circumstances may modify hours of operation or close sites without notice.
