Liberty, Farr West, Hans Mill, and Adam Ondi Ahman


Next on our list was Liberty Jail.

This was the original key.  We thought that was neat that they were able to get a hold of that.

This was a replica of the original one built only a few feet from this one.   Take note of the thick walls.  approximately 5-6 feet wide.

The boys with their cousin Levi infront of the front door to the jail.

Joseph Smith and four others spent several months in the jail.  It was humbling to see the circumstances they lived in for so long.  The ceiling below is only about 5 feet tall. 

This is at Independence. This is a picture of the temple built on top of the original site of the LDS temple.  This land and temple are owned by the Community of Christ. 

One of the rooms of the museum had a before and after of Independence.  If you look closely in the distance of the middle of the picture, there are still stones where the early temple was.  Picture was taken in early 1900s.

This is a picture of after to be compared with the one above.  You can see where the old temple was and where now the Community of Christ temple stands.

Our beautiful family in front of the Christus at the Independence visitor center.

Original corner stone which was laid for the building of the temple at Farr West.

We almost made it to the Hans Mill, until we ran into this stretch of road.  We almost got stuck in the road where we were, so we decided not to push our luck.

Our family standing in Adam Ondi Ahman.

This little area was where Joseph Smith said stood an ancient Nephite Structure.

Pictures of the fields through the trees at Adam Ondi Ahman.  I'm sure during the summar the green is amazing.
