Just a few days before the 2016 Young Performing Missionaries finished their summer shows, they stopped by the Willard Richards Inn where we were finishing our time as Innkeepers. These special “kid missionaries” had endeared themselves to us in years past….and the 2016 group had landed a spot in our hearts as well. The 2015…
It has become an annual event and 2017 marks the Seasons of Nauvoo Calendar’s 4th year. We have enjoyed searching through thousands of beautiful Nauvoo images to find this year’s selections. Search is over and we have the top 13 selected!! Thank you, thank you to our friends who have already ordered without seeing the…
Young Performing Missionaries. Great title to bear for 3 ½ months during summer in Historic Nauvoo…..but that doesn’t really tell you about the character and amazing talent of this select group. The “YPM’s” as they are affectionately called are a group of young adults who perform, singing and dancing their way into your hearts. They…
More….more….more. That’s what we keep hearing from you. You want more shots from the Nauvoo Pageant. Well, here’s Part-2….. Missed Part-1? See it HERE. Hope you have enjoyed these as much as we have taking them.
“When you’re here…..we’re here.” And so it begins…… Pageant time is here and we love it! We are amazed at the cheerful faces, in spite of the heat, humidity, rain (sometimes torrential), and bugs. They just keep smiling through hours of practice—both morning and afternoon—and evening performances. Kuddos go to the core and family casts,…
As you know, big productions don’t just happen overnight…..and when you come to Nauvoo for Pageant, preparation has been underway for months. Since we live here and get to experience all that “is” Nauvoo, we thought you might like to see a little of life-in-Nauvoo-before-Pageant. Pageant Grounds Improvements See the light towers and stage? Black…
Nauvoo in winter is a bit quiet outdoors…..but when springtime arrives, everything changes in an instant! Here are a few of our favorite activities as Nauvoo comes alive after a cold winter season. No. 1 – Prairie Fire Demonstration Every year in late March or early April, the community gathers to watch a 1-acre section…
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!

Thank you! Warms my heart and a nice way to connect with Nauvoo every day!
