Prop Master Kyle Mattson's Prop Photo Album This is the photo album of Kyle Mattson, who was the prop master of the 1995 Hill Cumorah Pageant. It consists of 41 images of various props, including, but not limited to, flags, weapons, furniture, and animal replicas. This was used to keep track of the props that were used in that year of the pageant. Each individual prop did not have a date attached, which means that not every prop was necessarily made for the 1995 production, but they were all used in that production. These props would have been used in the Orson Scott Card version of the pageant, which was first staged in 1988. All pages that included images are attached in the order that they appeared, but blank pages were excluded.

Postcards Throughout the Hill Cumorah Pageant’s history, the only items produced and sold for the public to buy as souvenirs were postcards, each year adhering to a specific theme. These postcards feature notable locations in the history of The Church of the Latter Day Saints, themed as “Historic Mormon Country.” These locations include the Joseph Smith home, the Hill Cumorah Visitors’ Center, the E. B. Grandin Building, the Peter Whitmer home and reconstructed log home, the Martin Harris farm, the Fayette Chapel and Whitmer Farm visitor’s center, the Angel Moroni Monument, the Sacred Grove, and the Hill Cumorah itself. Each postcard features a glossy photo front with a descriptive caption on the back.

Photographs of Mormon Missionaries in the Late 1940s These photographs depict a group of male missionaries attending and being in the cast of the Hill Cumorah Pageant sometime in the late 1940s.
The first photo shows two men posing in their costume attire. They both play soldiers in the play.
The second photo shows Hill Cumorah in Palmyra, New York. You can see the roadway at the bottom of the hill and a large monument on top of the hill.
The third photo shows a group of males, all wearing white shirts and slacks. They are posing for a photo next to props for the Pageant.
The fourth photo has a group of males posing for a photo surrounding a pickup truck. They are smiling and are outside of someone's home.
The fifth photo shows a group of males fooling around. Two of them have grabbed a third man, while a fourth pours water on him. They are all laughing.
The sixth photo is similar to the fourth, with a group of males posing for a photo around a pickup truck, possibly the same one. This time, some of them are inside the cab, and some are in the bed of the truck. The man in the driver's seat is wearing a large silver metal bowl on his head.
