Today we visited Carthage Jail in Illinois where Joseph Smith was shot and killed.  In the top photo, the window on the right is the one Joseph jumped from after he had been shot. The second photo is the interior shot of the same window.

Then we went to Historic Nauvoo, where we saw the Nauvoo Temple and visited several sites-the Browning Home & Gunsmith Shop, Brigham Young's home, John Taylor's home, the Smith Family Cemetery and the Brickyard where we learned how bricks were made. It was all very interesting and I especially liked touring Brigham Young's home since he is my ancestor.  In the Young house I am standing next to  a desk in the room where many meetings were held and where the exodus from Nauvoo to the West was planned.
