Historic Nauvoo
In 1839, early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints established this place of peace and beauty on a great bend in the Mississippi River. Today, Nauvoo is one of America’s premier historic communities. Visitors can explore more than 30 historic sites from the 1839-1846 time period all year long!
In the video below, Bryan Andreason, historian from the LDS History Museum in Salt Lake City, offered a presentation for the Looking for Lincoln Conversations video series. The video, 'Lincoln in Mormon Country,' discusses the intertwined history of Lincoln and The Church of Latter Day Saints.
