Far West, Independence, Liberty, WOW!

Okay, the highlight of the Missouri trip was to visit all of the historical sites we could fit into one day. We really thought they were closer together, maps are deceptive. We walked where Jospeh walked. We followed the trails of the pioneers. What a great honor and privilege.


Replica of the printing press that was destroyedby the mob and printed the Book of Mormon.


Bus at the entrance of the visitors' center that houses the reconstructed Liberty Jail and actual floor and bricks from it. It was built to scale. Oh the suffering of Joseph.



Joseph was in the basement and guards up above. Only two tiny windows and it was latter used as an ice house that kept ice frozen all summer. No good conditions to live in.



This shows pictures of men returning to view the jail as it was crumbling. They were just young boys when Joseph was in it.
