Hancock County and the city of Nauvoo are the crossroads of history.
People who have shaped national and world history have
passed through this area, including Abraham Lincoln, Stephen
Douglas, Robert E. Lee, Henry David Thoreau and Joseph
Smith. Rich with Mormon history, Nauvoo has more than 50
restored homes and shops to tour, gift shops, great food,
great shows and family fun. Hancock County’s natural beauty is not to be missed. The upper Mississippi
River is at its widest, incredible fall colors abound, bald eagles
here all winter, fireflies in spring, a bird sanctuary and much,
much more.
