LDS History
After a 10-hour debate with a Campbellite minister in Leitersburgh, Washington County, Latter-day Saint missionary Erastus Snow baptized 11 people. He began preaching in Maryland with three other missionaries in 1837. Snow baptized one convert, an 89-year-old man, after cutting through 18 inches of ice. In 1842, the Mormon Expositor, a Church paper, began printing for a time in Baltimore. Maryland’s Church activity slowed from 1844-99 when many Church members gathered west. In 1899, missionary work was reorganized in the state. The Church’s temple in Kensington is one of Maryland’s most prominent landmarks and was completed in 1974.
