Carthage Jail

This afternoon we went and visited Carthage Jail. 

The above picture is a jail cell on the main floor. Where Joseph and Hyrum were first held. 

The picture below is where more serious criminals were held. It happened to be the same place John Taylor was helped to hide in case the mob returned. 


I didn't realize until today that the four men stayed in the jailers own bedroom instead of a cell. This is the window Joseph fell out of. 

The entire tour was very touching, and amazing to think we were in same place the prophet stood. I thought that for two days as we toured through the homes and businesses of Nauvoo.
