Tour of Nauvoo, IL

(scroll down for pics)

August 17, 2011 we spent the day in Nauvoo, the old historic Mormon town from 1839 to 1846.  Although the saints left the town in just 7 short years, it was nothing when they arrived and the largest city in Illinois when they departed.  The forced exodus of 20,000 people left it's mark.
