There is much to learn and understand about the history of the islands and this is one of the sources that has good information. There is much more to learn but this is good visit and informative.

Just because it's sponsored by the Mormons doesn't mean we need to avoid it. For heaven's sake.

When I'm traveling, I visit synagogues, mosques, Catholic and Orthodox churches and protestant churches. They all illustrate something about the countries and the cultures.
