In 1839 Joseph Smith bought the property of Commerce, Illinois as a refuge for the LDS people who were being driven from Missouri by religious persecution. It was a swamp and a few log cabins. The site had once been the indian village "Quashquema". The city was named Nauvoo, which in Hebrew means "Beautiful Place". This page contains a sample of the best digital photos and pictures that we have taken of Nauvoo, Illinois. These pictures and photos are for your enjoyment and may be freely used for clean, wholesome, noncommercial, purposes that are supportive of the LDS Church and the City Of Joseph Pageant.
