"Nauvoo is one of the most important places associated with the history of the middle west, and indeed of America. In its own right, present-day Nauvoo is exceptionally interesting and picturesque." In the 1840s it was the largest city in Illinois, and notable as the center of Mormonism; among its chief attractions are the Joseph Smith Homestead and the Brigham Young House. .
