Historic Nauvoo

Welcome to

"Come and Be Changed"

In 1839, early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—called “Mormons”—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!

Nauvoo Historic Sites, which includes Carthage, are currently closed for physical tours due to Covid-19.

​

However, we are now providing live video tours of almost 20 of our historic sites. 

During your live video tour experience, you can expect to hear stories of the Saints who lived here, watch demonstrations of daily pioneer activities, and see original artifacts from the 1840s.

Each tour is guided by missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and conducted over Zoom in English. We also offer limited tours in Spanish and Portuguese.
