Summertime in Old Nauvoo is the best time to visit this special place! Nauvoo is alive with activities, shows, performances, and pageants. In addition to visiting the historic sites and homes, plan on attending the temple, the outdoor stage production of Sunset on the Mississippi, the indoor stage production of Remembering Joseph, the Country Fair, the Nauvoo Pageant, the British Pageant, and several vignettes put on by the Young Performing Missionaries. This is the perfect time to go to Nauvoo!

See the pieces of Church History come together as we discuss the correlation between the events of Independence, Far West, Liberty Jail, Adam-ondi-Ahman, Hawn’s Mill, and the Extermination Order.
