Multiple outlets report that Ohio is home to two landmark Mormon temples separated by nearly two centuries. The Cleveland area has the oldest temple in the Mormon movement, located in Kirtland, Ohio, which was built in the 1830s. Sources note that this historic temple no longer functions as an active temple. They also describe the region as hosting one of the newest Mormon temples in the United States, indicating continued growth and expansion of the faith’s temple program. The reports frame the sites as historically significant: Kirtland’s temple is presented as an early center of Mormon religious development in American history, while the newer temple represents the latest stage of the church’s temple building in the country. One report includes an on-the-ground description of a visit by Elder Brian Garner and presents the older temple’s wooden structure and setting as a distinctive reminder of the movement’s early period. Across the articles, the core facts are that Ohio contains the oldest Mormon temple (from the 1830s) and a newly built temple in the U.S., while the older one is no longer in active service as a temple.
