On Thursday, June 27th (2019) we mark the 175th year since the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. and his loyal brother Hyrum were murdered in the Carthage, Illinois jail.

Our short list of images for the 2015 Seasons of Nauvoo Calendar has been compiled for a few weeks now and we have been bouncing back and forth between a couple for each month. Tom has pulled out a few gems I missed and we are both super excited with the selections. Were you waiting…
Yes, it is still winter. Yes, it was cold when this was taken. And yes…..some winter days in Nauvoo are without snow. The photograph proves it. This shot of Joseph and Emma’s home shows just how stately the Mansion House appears across this field in Old Nauvoo. When one considers the history surrounding the Mansion…
Remember to save me a calendar please..so looking forward to this.
Will do!! Thanks Nancy.

Looking forward to receiving it
Kind regards

Yes, we did receive your order. Thank you!! Thought you might like to see the calendar images ahead of time. Tell your sweetheart hello. Miss you both in Nauvoo and hope all is well in Colorado.
I am looking forward to receiving the calendar! Is the picture of Joseph’s & Hyrum’s statues by the temple as dark as it looks on the web site? The similar picture on your Nauvoo Images page is brighter–easier to recognize the individuals.
I want to order 25 Christmas cards of #3, Christmas Wreath,
as soon as we see the images from our photo shoot on October 7th.
Thanks for all you are doing,

Thanks! We are excited about this year’s calendar too. The statue image on the website banner and the one for the calendar aren’t the same image. They were taken during the same time period as the sun was going down so the calendar image is a little darker since the sun was lower on the horizon. Anyone who has been to Nauvoo readily recognizes those statues, even in silhouette. The point of that photo is the beauty of the sunset, combined with Joseph and Hyrum, to create a somber feeling as they headed for Carthage.
