Reviews of Carthage Jail
"This was a great place to visit. This place helps bring to life part of the early church history. Much of the original building is there including some bullet holes and blood stains."
"This place is full of story and rich in history. A must see and visit historical site. The jail itself is full of stories of faith, bravery, and kindness of the people and family who once lived there. All furnitures and structures are preserved. Each room of the jail house has its story to tell. The missionary guides were awesome and told the story of imprisonment of Joseph Smith and his brother there. I would love to come back and see other sites in this area. Highly recommended place to visit and to learn as well."
"Great experience, very serene! The missionaries do such a wonderful tour. This is one place which is not to be missed."
"Most touching spot on our 9 day Church History Tour. Very highly recommend seeing this wonderfully displayed martyrdom spot for Brothers Hyrum and Joseph. The truth is easily discerned here. Very moving, and worth the trip."
"An absolutely splendid place to visit. A solemn story of faith, family and friendship permeates the sacred grounds of this edifice. The missionaries here do an amazing service explaining both the history and spirituality of The Carthage Jail experience. Our children enjoyed the stories and spirit felt here. Highly recommended!"
