When the Saints left Nauvoo and crossed the Mississippi, they camped at Sugar Creek. You are familiar with the "Gift of the Quail". As they departed from their campsites, they had a last look at the temple. This photo represents the view they might have had (taken from a bluff above present Montrose). One journal entry stated, "On reaching the summit, the company made a halt for the purpose of taking a last peering look at the Nauvoo Temple."
We are honored to serve in this Holy House today to continue the work the Saints began many years ago.
