Introduction
The Pioneer Trail tour begins at the Seventies Hall. Quorums of the Seventy built and dedicated the hall as a place for instruction, quorum business, and worship. Mission calls issued here in 1845 helped gather resources to finish the temple. The hall provided room upstairs for the Council of Fifty to meet and discuss plans for leaving Nauvoo. This impressive two-story building is reconstructed on its original site.
What to Expect
The Seventies Hall is a one-room guided tour of the hall. There is an optional exhibit and library upstairs on the second floor. After the Seventies Hall, you will walk over to the Webb Blacksmith Shop to continue the Pioneer Trail tour.
