Another stop was at Nauvoo. Next time I will plan more time to explore. I would like at least 2 days. Nauvoo is where the saints of the church built a city after they were driven out of Missouri from mobs. they built the Nauvoo temple, and a wonderful city. After 6 years they were then forced to travel to the rocky Mountains, once again looking to escape the anti-mormons. we rode a carriage ride around the city. It was such a windy day, but the fall colors were beautiful. We then drove to Carthage jail to see where Joesph Smith was killed while waiting for his trial. We got to go in the very room and see the window he was shot out of. They also had the original door that a bullet came through and killed Hyrum Smith his brother. We really enjoyed bringing our children and showing them the history of our church and all that was sacrificed for us.
