Selfie Spots in Nauvoo

Located in the garden area next to the Weld House Museum the Fairy Wings are the perfect selfie spot! Be sure to look for the Fairy Doors scattered through downtown Nauvoo to post along with your selfie!

While you are there get a picture with the Lion. One of three Lion statues in Nauvoo, this guy used to sit on Mulholland by the Lions Club building. After they closed he moved to the Weld House. He looks grumpy but he's really nice.

(PS - the other two lions are by the old jail by City Park.)

Check out the Dinosaur by the Flood Museum. He loves to pose for photos! Located just off Mulholland Street he's easy to find and makes for a fun photo!

Nothing says Nauvoo quite like this! This building was one of Nauvoo's movie theaters and still occasionally holds a performances. One of the most recognizable spots in town.

This sign on the west edge of town is a fun selfie spot. Be careful to completely pull off the highway. You can also park in the funeral home parking lot to get this shot.

Baxter's Winery has a beautiful mural located in their entrance that perfectly embodies Nauvoo. This large painting greats for a great memory of your trip and you can step inside for a wine or grape juice tasting. The vineyards are also wonderful photo opportunities.

The cows and oxen are fun to take a photo with. They can be found in the pasture on Main Street. Do not climb the fence and go into the pasture because they can bite, but they will often cooperate for a photo by the fence.

At the Historic Sites North Visitors Center you can take a carriage ride pulled by horses. The Missionaries who give the rides will let you pet them, but please ask first. They are friendly but as with all live animals please be cautious. The horse drawn carriage rides are a Nauvoo favorite!

Nauvoo's newest Mexican restaurant opened in 2026 and features a colorful wing mural on the side of the building. This newly remodeled building is full of fun selfie spots inside as well. 

The Nauvoo Tourism Office at 1445 Mulholland Suite A has a Lincoln stand up perfect for a unique Nauvoo selfie. Nauvoo is part of the Lincoln National Heritage Area. Find out more at Looking for Lincoln.

The Nauvoo Women's Garden is a fun place for a selfie. Spend some time mimicking the statues for a fun afternoon of photos..
