Mansion House
890 Main St , Nauvoo, IL 62354
Historic Sites
In 1842 Latter Day Saints founder Joseph Smith built this fine frame house just across the street from the Homestead.
As it was being finished, however, Joseph chose to add a hotel wing on the east to accommodate their many guests. This final home for Joseph and his wife Emma gave them space to raise their children, meet with guests, and provide rooms for visitors. Today the original residence still stands. The hotel addition was demolished in 1890. While on the walking tour, guests enter the home to view the rooms used by Joseph and Emma and hear about events that took place.
