Best Answer

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that the Garden of Eden no longer exists. They have no doctrine as to where exactly the Garden of Eden was. They do believe, however, that Adam and Eve lived in a place called 'Adam-Ondi-Ahman' after being expelled from the Garden of Eden. Joseph Smith said that Adam-Ondi-Ahman was located in what is now Daviess County, Missouri, near Independence.

The Church of Jesus christ of Latter-day Saints currently owns the property described by Joseph Smith as Adam-Ondi-Ahman, and uses most of it as farmland for the Church welfare and humanitarian programs. There is also a small visitor/tourist portion open to the public.

There are no official statements or doctrines from the Church or Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) regarding where exactly the Garden of Eden was located.

The Church does, however, declare and believethat the place named 'Adam-ondi-Ahman' in Daviess County, Missouri, USAis the place where Adam and Eve lived after they were expelled from the Garden of Eden.

It has been rumored by some that Joseph Smith once said that the Garden of Eden was near Independence, Missouri. However, this cannot be verified and is not generally believed to be true.
