nauvoo part II

Part II of our trip to Nauvoo.
Visitor Center: Original brick and nails from the construction of the Nauvoo temple




My Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather Peter Shirts made the keys to the Nauvoo Temple.



inside the home of Lucy Mack Smith


upstairs at Lucy Mack Smith- so cute and quaint





back of Lucy Mack Smith's home

we ran into our friends the hayes (but i just got a picture with miss sarah) in front of the old brick house..so fun to see them





inside Brigham Young's home- after the Prophet Joseph Smith was martyred the remanding apostles and leaders of the church held meetings around this table. there was such a remarkable spirit inside this room as we thought of all the prophets, fathers and grandfathers of prophets that would have sat around this table



Heber C. Kimball's home (somehow julius is related but i forget how)

Smith Family Cemetery

My favorite place we visited in Navuoo had to have been the Smith Family Cemetery. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Nauvoo make sure you make time for this historic site - such a beautiful peaceful place to remember the Prophet Joseph and his family.
