Location: 50 North Wells Street
The original Nauvoo temple was the center piece of all Nauvoo. It was
destroyed by both a fire and tornado around the mid 1800’s, but was rebuilt in
2002. It is owned by the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints and only members with temple recommends can enter,
however anyone is allowed outside on its beautiful temple grounds. Information on why members of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints build temples and what happens inside of them
can be found on their website here.
If you are a member of the church
and would like to attend the temple information, current schedule information can be
found here.
