The Book of Mormon Historic Publication Site is situated in the village of Palmyra, Wayne County, New York. This historic site encompasses the E. B. Grandin Building along with a few neighboring structures. It was in the E. B. Grandin building that the first copies of the Book of Mormon were printed and sold by Egbert B. Grandin.

This center serves as a hub for tourists and visitors to learn about the history and significance of the site.
