context_page_description: Liberty Jail is a former jail in Liberty, Missouri, United States, where Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, and other associates were imprisoned from December 1, 1838, to April 6, 1839, during the 1838 Mormon War. Smith received revelations during his imprisonment there, which are now recorded as sections 121, 122, and 123 of the LDS Doctrine and Covenants.
  The site at 216 North Main, two blocks northwest of the Clay County courthouse in downtown Liberty, is now owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which operates a visitors' center featuring an indoor, cut-away reconstruction of the jail on the original site.
