According to statistical research conducted last year, the average family that tours Nauvoo visits only 13 sites while on vacation in the historic town. “There are two problems with that,” says resident Matthew Von Trapp. “First, there are easily 60 historic sites, landmarks, and points of interest worth visiting in the immediate area, each lending perspective to the LDS time period. Second, Nauvoo has multiple time periods worth exploring beyond the 7-year LDS period of 1839-1846.
