The Way It Looks Today
A Camera Tour of Church History Sites in Missouri and Illinois
In this second part of our photographic tour of Church history sites, we look this month at scenes in Missouri and Illinois. Photography is by Eldon K. Linschoten.
View of Montrose, Iowa, looking across the Mississippi River from the site of the Nauvoo ferry. Here the pioneers crossed the frozen river in the winter of 1846.
This large reproduction of a painting depicting the Savior calling his apostles is displayed in the Nauvoo Visitors’ Center.
A 1929 excavation of the Independence temple site unearthed this square of limestone near the temple’s proposed northeast corner, the date—1831—scratched into its surface. The Church of Christ—Temple Lot owns it.
