We also went to Carthage jail, Where Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyram were martyred.
Walking along the Trail of Hope: the trail that the saints traveled down leaving Nauvoo, on their way to Ohio. There were about a hundred plaques lined up on the fence along the trail, with quotations selected from the journals of the saints leaving Nauvoo. We found two of our ancestors' plaques, Zina D. H. Young's and Benjamin F. Johnson's.
Mia, Mark and Hunter Busby on the millstones behind the bakery.
In Lucy Mack Smith's house.
At the Brick Firing factory, we heard about how they heated up the bricks to make all the brick buildings in Nauvoo. We got a little souvenir brick too.
At the Family Living Center, we learned how to make rope, candles, bread, pottery, barrels, and quilts in the way the pioneers did it.
We took a wagon ride around Historic Nauvoo and saw all of the different houses and businesses that have been preserved from when the saints lived there.
