We came here on Sunday morning right before we left for Carthage Jail. Parley Street is the road the saints took to the Mississippi before they left Nauvoo for the Utah Valley. It's now called The Trail of Hope. Along this street are quotes from different pioneer journalsn that talk about the day they left Nauvoo.
This statue is at the end of the trail along with a monument listing the names of saints who died along the way.
The Nauvoo Pageant
The Yearsley Home (or so we think. We were told the address and this is what we found so hopefully this is it!). The Yearsley's were my mom's ancestors so when we came to Nauvoo we had to find their home! I asked one of the missionaries and they said it was this house. Supposedly it is the tallest home in Nauvoo. Performing missionaries are living there now.
I really liked the Scovil Bakery. Maybe because they give you cookies inside :) They had the original cookie cutters from the bakery hanging up. I thought that was cute.
Us before we went to do a session!Nauvoo was so great. We loved it!
