founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, received a revelation
with instructions to construct a house in Nauvoo which would be “a
resting-place for the weary traveler “. The Nauvoo House
Association was created on 23 February 1841. Construction began
later in 1841, with Smith placing the original manuscript of the Book
of Mormon in the cornerstone of the building. Smith and his
brother Hyrum were killed by a mob in June 1844 and their bodies
were secretly buried in the cellar of the unfinished house to prevent
their bodies from being stolen. Later, their bodies were removed
and buried close to the Mansion House. The house was
purchased by the Mormon Church in 1909 and is still owned by them
today ............................................................................
