Following the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Latter-day Saints remained in Nauvoo until 1846 when the community moved west to the Great Salt Lake valley under the prophetic leadership of Brigham Young. Many of the homes and shops of the pioneer Saints have now been restored and are available for visitor tours.
Nauvoo was established in 1839 by the pioneer members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, under the prophetic leadership of the Prophet, Joseph Smith. In the seven years of its history, it became a “covenant community” wherein the people served together for the common good of all.
