This is a life sized diorama in Liberty Jail. It was hard to take pictures in this room. The jail has been reconstructed on the exact spot where it stood, but it is in a huge room. At Liberty Jail, Joseph Smith and the others were imprisoned in this downstairs "dungeon" during a long cold winter for 127 days. The man sitting down was 6'6" tall and the room was only 6'. This picture is of the top floor of the jail. Joseph penned several important sections of the D & C while in Liberty Jail. We were profoundly moved by this site.
These beautiful coleuses were growing outside the Liberty Jail. Wouldn't Mother have loved seeing these?
This is the very interesting nautilus-shaped temple of the Community of Christ church. This temple is across the street from the LDS Visitor's Center and kitty-korner to the Temple Lot church headquarters. The Indepence sites were interesting, but it's a hot place.
We found our way first to Haun's Mill which we couldn't find yesterday. Then we visited the Three Witnesses to the Book of Mormon monument which marks the burial place of Oliver Cowdery. The first picture is Haun's Mill which was a pretty place for such violence to have occured there. Shoal Creek is really dirty-looking. We saw lots of signs of wildlife and dozens of tiny, tiny frogs! The second picture is the monument.
I've been fascinated with the hay "bales". These big rolls of hay look like huge strips of sod all rolled up. They're everywhere. They pile them along fence lines and in big piles. We haven't seen a harrowbed yet.
It's been very, very hot and humid. We haven't planned tomorrow's agenda, but we're going to have a look at the Harry S Truman museum which everyone has suggested. It sounds like fun. Have a good day. I'm getting really mixed up on my number of days!
