Spend most of 2 days in the compelling Nauvoo area visiting restored Pioneer homes & shops, an emotional visit to Carthage Jail, and enjoying the most delightful Pioneer entertainment imaginable. Memorable wagon ride at Mt. Pisgah on actual wagon trails used by the pioneers. Also see where temporary pioneer settlers camped, built cabins, sod huts, etc. An unforgettable experience!

As much as practical, sites are visited in historical order to make this complex history easier to understand and remember.
