The Mercantile - Museum Store

Our museum store, "The Mercantile," stocks many items relating to Kirtland Temple and early Latter Day Saint history. Our principal focus is educational material. Whether buying or browsing, a visit to The Mercantile teaches visitors about Kirtland Temple and life for early Latter Day Saints.

We stock...

• reprints of the 1934 HABS (Historical American Buildings Survey) Kirtland Temple measured drawings
• a limited amount of Kirtland Temple commemorative material, such as models of the Temple

We also carry a large selection of scholarly books about Kirtland Temple and related subjects; with a particular strength in the earliest days of the Latter Day Saint movement, 1830-1844. We carry titles from many publishers, including Herald House, Signature Books, University of Illinois, BYU Studies and Deseret Books, as well as numerous privately printed titles.
