The Jonathan Browning Home and Gunsmith Shop was Mike’s favorite. I didn’t know that the famous gun maker was a Mormon! He joined the church in 1840 and moved to Nauvoo in 1843 where he had a very successful business on Main Street. They had many pistols and rifles on display from the 1800’s. It’s interesting, but even before he joined the church he was a very spiritual man. He put a silver plate on the butt of the guns he made which said, “Holiness to the Lord” which is what it says on each and every temple.
