Grave sites of Emma, Joseph, and Hyrum Smith.
The Red Brick Storehouse.
Inside Lucy Mack Smith's home.
The saying "Goodnight, Sleep Tight" comes from a bed like this. They actually tightened the ropes as they loosened over time to make the bed more "firm".
The Printing Office where many copies of the Book of Mormon were printed.

The Trail of Hope or Trail of Tears that the pioneers walked as they left Nauvoo after once again being run out by the Mobs.

The point where the Pioneers crossed the frozen Mississippi River. Amazingly the river froze that year. Back then the river was .5 miles wide and now it is 2 miles wide.
