DAY 7: Carthage Jail

The bullet hole in the door through which Hyrum was hit

The staircase (in it's original form) that was used by the mob to enter the second story room

Learned that Carthage was the first historical site purchased by the church and that the missionary couple who restored it to it's original form served for 20 years including time as the first tour guides

  1. That's like the missionary couple who served at Palmyra for I think 25 years, just becoming good neighbors to the anti mormon community. It is through that couple that finally the church was able to purchase the property. It's a very sweet book to read.
