'''Adam-ondi-Ahman''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|æ|d|.|əm|_|ˈ|ɑ:|n|.|d|aɪ|_|ˈ|ɑ:|.|m|ən}}, sometimes clipped to '''Diahman''') is a historic site in [[Daviess County, Missouri|Daviess County]], [[Missouri]], about five miles south of [[Jameson, Missouri|Jameson]]. It is located along the east bluffs above the [[Grand River (Missouri)|Grand River]]. According to the teachings of [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]], it is the site where [[Adam and Eve (LDS Church)|Adam and Eve]] lived after being expelled from the [[Garden of Eden]]. It teaches that the place will be a gathering spot for a meeting of the priesthood leadership, including prophets of all ages and other righteous people, prior to the [[Second Coming]] of [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]].
The [[Latter Day Saint movement|Latter Day Saints]] once proposed building a [[Temple (LDS Church)|Temple]] on the site. Such efforts were halted in the 19th century as a result of the [[1838 Mormon War]] to evict the Latter Day Saints from Missouri. Their having declared Adam-ondi-Ahman as a sacred site for a Temple was a flash point in that confrontation.{{Citation needed|date=August 2023}}
