The destiny of Nauvoo is to become a sacred monument to the Prophet Joseph Smith and those stalwart, faithful Saints who suffered and sacrificed so much that we might have a fullness of the Gospel. The principal value of Nauvoo is as a sacred, historical sight where the fullness of the Gospel was restored - a place where members of the Church may feel the spirit of the people who lived here and be strengthened in their desires, efforts and convictions by and increased understanding and recognition of the faith, testimony and dedication of the people who built this beautiful city.
