After we looked around Nauvoo we headed to Carthage to tour Carthage Jail! It was awesome! Carter was so happy to be out of the car he couldn't quit talking while the tour guide was trying to tell us the story it was so cute and funny!
The jail is actually a house where the jail keeper stayed with his family and the prisoners! So the family lived in the downstairs and where they kept the prisoners was upstairs!
So here is a picture of the room where the prisoners initially stayed!
This is the window Joseph fell out of when he was shot by the mob.
The two bullet holes... one hit John Taylor and the other Hyrum!
The stairs the mob charged up!
The top window is the window Joseph fell out of!
Joseph and Hyrum
We really enjoyed this tour! It was fun to hear the detailed story!
