{{see also|Adam and Eve (LDS Church)}}
Followers of the [[Latter Day Saint movement]] believe that after Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden they resided in a place known as [[Adam-ondi-Ahman]], located in present-day [[Daviess County, Missouri]]. It is recorded in the [[Doctrine and Covenants]] that Adam blessed his posterity there and that he will return to that place at the time of the [[final judgment]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/107.53?lang=eng|title=Doctrine and Covenants 107:53}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/116.1?lang=eng|title=Doctrine and Covenants 116:1}}</ref> in fulfillment of a prophecy set forth in the Bible.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/dan/7.13.13-14,22?lang=eng|title=Daniel 7:13–14, 22}}</ref>

Numerous early leaders of the Church, including [[Brigham Young]], [[Heber C. Kimball]], and [[George Q. Cannon]], taught that the Garden of Eden itself was located in nearby Jackson County,<ref name="fairlatterdaysaints">{{Cite web |title=The location of the Garden of Eden – FAIR |url=https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/answers/Joseph_Smith/Garden_of_Eden_in_Missouri |access-date=2023-11-09 |website=www.fairlatterdaysaints.org}}</ref> but there are no surviving first-hand accounts of that doctrine being taught by Joseph Smith himself. LDS doctrine is unclear as to the exact location of the Garden of Eden, but tradition among Latter-Day Saints places it somewhere in the vicinity of Adam-ondi-Ahman, or in Jackson County.<ref>{{Cite web |title=I Have a Question |url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/eng/ensign/1994/01/i-have-a-question |access-date=2023-11-09 |website=www.churchofjesuschrist.org |pages=54–55 |language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/mormonism-101#C18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310215659/http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/mormonism-101#C18|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-03-10|title=What is Mormonism?
