Mormon Population
Mormons make up 1.50% of the population of Quantico. The state of Virginia has 90,738 members in 19 stakes, 157 wards, 40 branches, and 2 missions. The Virginia Richmond Mission was created in October 1947.
LDS History
Jedediah M. Grant, an early missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was highly demanded in Virginia. He received three speaking invitations for every one he could fill in the 1840s. His listeners gave him a horse, clothing, and funds to assist his future preaching assignments. In 1841, there were some 80 members of the Church in Virginia. After Grant and his brother left the state in 1842, another missionary, R.H. Kinnamon, traveled to nine counties and baptized more than 100 people.
Family Friendliness
With nearly 350 years of tales, documented historic accounts, and natural beauty to explore, a visit to Quantico is sure to keep you busy. Activities range from historic architecture and archaeology, fishing, and Impressionist art, to some “modern day” options like golf, boating, and live theatre.
