Elder Gong Dedicates the New Nauvoo Temple Visitors' Center
Elder Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles dedicated the new Nauvoo Temple Visitors’ Center today on the 182nd anniversary of the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum Smith, who were killed in Carthage, Illinois, on June 27, 1844.

The visitors’ center, located at 155 Wells Street, has a view of the Nauvoo Illinois Temple and features a Tiffany stained-glass window of Jesus Christ. It will operate Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. starting Monday. Admission is free.
Construction of the Wellington New Zealand Temple Goes Vertical

The temple is situated on the elevated eastern portion of the property, which slopes down toward street level. The mature trees surrounding the site create a beautiful, natural setting for the sacred structure.
