Kids Pioneer Activities

Kids Pioneer Activities

Step back in time and experience history come to life in Historic Nauvoo, where families can explore hands-on sites that make the 1840s both fun and unforgettable. Kids can dress up, play pioneer games, and discover daily life of the past at Pioneer Pastimes, while the Family Living Center offers interactive demonstrations of candle making, weaving, and other timeless crafts. Follow the scent of fresh cookies to the Scovil Bakery, watch sparks fly at the Blacksmith Shop, or learn how bricks were shaped and fired at the Family Living Center. Each stop invites visitors to touch, see, and experience history together—making Nauvoo the perfect destination for families who love to learn, laugh, and explore.  Check out The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints website for details.
