Make the Most of Your Nauvoo Stay

Historic preservation on the Mississippi

Nauvoo rises from the banks of the Mississippi River as a meticulously preserved window into 1840s America, where over 60 restored buildings tell the story of a city that once rivaled Chicago in size. The reconstructed Nauvoo Temple, built with Alabama limestone in Greek Revival style, dominates the bluff above town, while costumed interpreters demonstrate blacksmithing, baking, and printing in authentic period workshops. This National Historic Landmark District functions as a living museum, where horse-drawn wagons transport visitors between Federal-style brick homes and sites where a religious movement took shape before its westward exodus.

Beyond religious history

While the city's primary draw centers on Latter-day Saint heritage, Nauvoo's story extends to the Icarian commune that followed and German vintners who established Baxter's Vineyards in 1857—now Illinois' oldest operating winery. The Hotel Nauvoo has served travelers since 1840, offering its famous buffet in historic dining rooms. Nauvoo State Park provides riverside recreation and the Rheinberger House Museum with wine cellars connecting three distinct cultural chapters.

Planning your visit

The compact geography makes walking ideal for experiencing the historic areas, with free seasonal shuttles connecting major sites. Summer brings outdoor pageants and festivals that animate the town's story, though restored buildings and river views reward visits year-round.
