Historic Sites

Tour Historic Nauvoo's missionary instruction center and first library, where men and women once gathered to listen to Brigham Young and other Later Day Saints Church leaders.

This two-story meeting hall once housed a school, a doctor’s office, and a painter’s studio. Most of all, it provided a place of worship and instruction for members of the Nauvoo community.
