Carthage

Abraham Lincoln gave a speech from this doorway!

Poor Hyrum

A view from the side entrance.

The well.

The Carthage Jail.

Carthage was an amazing place. The town was quaint. I expected to feel sadness, but I just felt peace. Willard Richards offered to hang in the place of Joseph Smith Jr. In return, Joseph Smith promised him that his friends would fall on his left and his right but that the bullets would not pierce his clothing. Because of this blessing, our family has grown and were able to make this trip!
