Our next stop was Carthage, IL to the jail where Jospeph and Hyrum Smith and their companions where jailed. You can read more about it here:

The Jail/Home of the jailer. An interesting tidbit of info: On those old homes you sometimes see the iron stars or 'S' shaped irons on the outside walls. They are iron rods, placed between floors to help stabilize the home structure, I was told. Interesting.
The gunshot hole into the door of the room where the Prophet and his companions were placed. That shot is believed to be the one that killed Hyrum immediately as he and others were trying to hold the door closed against the mob.
A statue of Joseph and Hyrum Smith.
