We start this posting with a picture of Bruce and Jackie Moore, Sr. Pastoral couple at Battle Creek Tabernacle where they have served for 6 years. He took me to see some of the important Adventist history sights. I had seen them before, but I wanted some pics to share with you. You can see the graves of Ellen and James White in the second picture. The next one shows the entry gate for the Oak Hill Cemetery. Notice the date of 1844, which is an interesting coincidence. The next picture is of the former Battle Creek Sanitarium, which is now a Federal Building. This was built by J.H.Kellogg after the original Battle Creek San burned. Across the street you will see the Fire Station built after the San burned. The Review and Herald had burned down a year or so earlier and they determined that Adventist fires couldn't be put out. The last picture is of James and Ellen White's home which is part of the very interesting Adventist Heritage Village. If you ever get a chance to visit Battle Creek you will find a fascinating array of historical information from the origins of the Seventh-day Adventist organization and the great cereal wars between Kellogg, Post, and as many as 250 0thers who tried to cash in on the popular trend.
