More of day 3

We headed out to Carthage to check out Carthage Jail where the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were killed.  It was a very special experience to be in the the room where they were right be fore they died.

Here is the door that went into the room where they were prisoners.  The grove in the door was where the mob members stuck their guns in the door to pry the door open.

This is a picture of the bullet hole that went through the door and killed Hyrum.  It is the original door.

This is the room that they were killed in.  We learned that the jailer and his family lived at the jail and the day that Joseph Smith and Hyrum were killed the jailer had moved them into his bedroom because the dungeon room was too hot and the bedroom was a lot cooler.  It was interesting to us that the jailer would live at the jail with his wife and kids.  His wife even cooked for the prisoners.

A picture of the outside.  Its the original building and latter an outdoor kitchen was added so that is what the smaller building is in front of the jail.

We then headed back to Nauvoo and checked out a few more sights.  This was the Nauvoo House that Joseph Smith had started but it was never fully finished.
