Nauvoo - Fall Break







Our First Day we visited the Carthage Jail where Joseph Smith was martyred.








This is the Trail of Hope - the path the saints took as they left Nauvoo. It leads to the Mississippi River.

The girls on the shore of the Mississippi River

This is the property where my ancestors lived. The home looks REALLY old, but I'm not sure if was their actual home or just the property. 




Walker, (son of Henson) is one of my ancestors. It must have been an infant that died at birth. 

Although we had a really fun time, and it was just fun to get away, this trip gave me such a greater appreciation of what my ancestors and all the Saints must have gone through.
