Nauvoo was an important city in the early history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Visitors to Historic Nauvoo can discover the city where Joseph Smith received important revelations, apostles left on missions, tradespeople supported the economy, and the Relief Society cared for those in need.
The Spirit of Nauvoo is a real thing! Absolutely beautiful-

Great site for American mid-western history. No cost to enter, free tours, free wagon rides, free demos, free parking. At least a full day, if not two, are needed. Great for families. Friendly staff. Note, this is a historical site that is not-for-profit so you can only buy souvenirs in the actual town.
Key highlights:
1. Functioning blacksmith's shop
2. Gunsmith building
3. Mansion house
4. Wagon rides
Lots of friendly staff more than happy to help out and a key piece of American history.
