Haun's Mill

  1. A small Latter-day Saint settlement in Missouri where a mob killed about 17 members, including children, in an 1838 massacre.

The attack came days after the Missouri extermination order, during the 1838 Mormon War. It became a lasting symbol of the persecution the Saints suffered in Missouri before their expulsion.
