Highlighting Nauvoo’s little known past one story at a time.
The City of Nauvoo Tourism Office, the Nauvoo Area Chamber of Commerce, and Historic Nauvoo sponsor an annual gathering to celebrate the full richness of Nauvoo’s legacy - its Native American peoples, its origins as a river town, its role in the Latter-day Saints’ history, its place in the utopian Icarian movement, its appeal to German immigrants, its contribution to the Sister's of St. Benedict ministry, its significance in Midwest viticulture, its reflection of trends in American agriculture, and its rebirth as a point of heritage tourism. This gathering is a venue for sharing stories that have not yet entered into the standard narrative of the histories of this area.
