Business Information
On June 27, 1844, the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were martyred�killed by a mob that attacked them in Carthage Jail. Joseph �sealed his mission and his works with his own blood; and so [did] his brother Hyrum. In life they were not divided, and in death they were not separated!� (Doctrine and Covenants 135:3). The original jail in Carthage, Illinois, has been carefully restored and is about a 30-minute drive from Historic Nauvoo. Missionaries lead tours there, where visitors learn about the ministry of Joseph Smith and the final days in the life of Joseph and Hyrum. Group sizes for tours may be limited to 10 people or less. Face masks are recommended on tours for those who have not been fully vaccinated. Advance scheduling is strongly encouraged and is available through NauvooHistoricSites.org
