Retracing the pioneers’ faithful footsteps through the streets of Nauvoo, up the hill to their beloved temple, or down the historic pathway of Parley Street, one feels a quiet connection to the early Saints.
It was here in Nauvoo that faith was tested in the crucible of daily struggle, deprivation, and often heartache. It was also here that faith was rejuvenated and kindled to burn more brightly.
Touring the homes and shops of the early Nauvoo settlers enlightens our understanding of the pioneers’ challenges and plants a reverent appreciation deep in our hearts for them.
Eliza R. Snow recorded that, “To narrate what transpired within the seven years, in which we built and occupied Nauvoo, the beautiful, would fill volumes. That is a history that never will and never can repeat itself.”
Owning Village Art Collectibles porcelain homes helps to preserve the memory of Old Nauvoo. They are a perfect souvenir of that beautiful city on the banks of the Mississippi, the City of Joseph.
