Mexican Mormon History Museum Inc. in Provo UT. The Museum operates primarily through donations and the support of the Gomez family.

This museum documents the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico, focusing on the first generation of LDS converts to the Church. Initially located in Mexico City, it moved to its current location in Provo, UT, in 2014 and has served that area ever since. The exhibits include the history of the “Mormon Colonies” in Mexico, the Third Convention movement, and the transnational relationship between the Salt Lake City church headquarters and the members of the church in Mexico, both Mexican citizens and transplants.
