In addition to the core offerings of Historic Nauvoo, the city of Nauvoo has several additional sites of Latter-day Saint interest and significance.
Pioneer Saints Cemetery (Old Nauvoo Burial Grounds)
Approximately three miles southeast of the Historic Nauvoo Visitors’ Center, the burial grounds of some early Latter-day Saints are open to the public.
To look up headstones before visiting, please click here. Additional information about burials may be available at the Nauvoo FamilySearch Center.
The cemetery is carefully monitored and maintained as a historic cemetery. Please do not disturb fallen or broken headstones. Moving them can cause further damage. Thank you!
Nauvoo Illinois Temple
When the early Latter-day Saints built Nauvoo, the temple was the focal point of their landscape, their teachings, and their devotion. In the temple, their faith in Jesus Christ would increase, and they would make sacred covenants and receive great blessings. Today, the reconstructed Nauvoo Illinois Temple, dedicated in 2002, overlooks Historic Nauvoo.
The temple grounds are open to the public year-round. A current temple recommend is required to enter the temple. For more information about visiting the temple, click here.
FamilySearch Center (Historic Clark Store)
Inside the Historic Clark Store, a modern FamilySearch center allows visitors to search genealogical records, including those of ancestors who may have lived in Nauvoo.
The center is located across the street from the temple, to the northeast. For hours of operation, call 1-217-453-6347.
Latter-day Saint Sunday Worship
If you are visiting Historic Nauvoo on a Sunday and would like to attend a service, two wards meet in Nauvoo at the Nauvoo Stake Center. Please use the Church’s Meetinghouse Locator to find the meeting schedules.
