For weeks we have passed by the sign pointing to Warsaw, prejudging (we suppose) from the past reputation the City has for mistreating the Saints in neighboring Nauvoo. As we entered town, we knew we were in for a pleasant experience. We found very friendly folks. We met 80 year old Betty who makes something out of everything and sells it at her craft store housed in one of the 1800's brick buildings. Jennifer runs the "Scoops" local soda fountain. Bob (78yr) is one of the locals who comes in for chocolate pie and coffee. Bill and Mary welcomed us to join them (and Bob) for lunch. They told us of a large house at the edge of town just above the Warsaw "Bottoms" (river road) where Joseph Smith stayed while visiting Warsaw (I assume prior to the worst of the persecutions).
