Last fall the publishers of the Illinois Farm Bureau Partners Magazine reached out to us requesting images for an article featuring Nauvoo. This quarterly publication features food-related events, travel destinations, and agricultural issues information for residents of Illinois. Of course, we were more than happy to work with the creative director, Laura, to supply images…
On Thursday, June 27th (2019) we mark the 175th year since the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. and his loyal brother Hyrum were murdered in the Carthage, Illinois jail. Many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its offshoot denominations are unaware that on June 18, 1844, Joseph Smith gave his last…
Last November the Nauvoo Monument to Women never looked more stunning with its brilliant fall colors. Well, the gardens continue to amaze us.

Our short list of images for the 2015 Seasons of Nauvoo Calendar has been compiled for a few weeks now and we have been bouncing back and forth between a couple for each month. Tom has pulled out a few gems I missed and we are both super excited with the selections. Were you waiting…

With teens it the first car, first date, first dance. With communities and people, it’s the first church, government building, home. So what was the “first” being…
March 17, 1842…..no photographs taken of the day’s momentous event but if they had, it might have looked like this one. On this special day, the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo was organized by Joseph Smith in the upper room of the Red Brick Store. During our first trip to Nauvoo in 2009, I heard…
I love your pictures of Nauvoo. It would enhance the calendar tremendously to have a caption of what each picture is for those who do not know Nauvoo very well.
Hi Saundra,
Each year we toy with the idea of adding location information but many of our customers like to frame the images as artwork so we have hesitated. An option would be to add the information in the calendar section below each photo which requires a different process than we are using. Haven’t ruled out the idea. Maybe next year!
