June 7&8
It was truly amazing to see these historical sites. It was just a small glimpse into what the pioneers experienced. I am really glad that we were able to visit and be in some of the same places as them.
Far West- This is the location that Joseph Smith came when he left Liberty Jail. It is where he dedicated the Far West Temple, the cornerstones were built, but due to persecution the Saints had to leave before it was ever completed. The glass box you see is one of the cornerstones that has been preserved.
Carthage Jail
Nauvoo, IL
The actual Liberty Jail no longer exists, this is a replica of what it looked liked according to some journal entries. It is however built on the same land within the Visitors Center.
