A vigorous Church campaign closed down about forty lingering LDS settlements in Iowa in 1852. Branches transformed into wagon trains, whose pullouts terminated what had been a strong Mormon presence in the Midwest for five years, and brought to completion the Nauvoo exodus process.

  • Why Council Bluffs? Part Two Kanesville
    Why Council Bluffs? Part Two Kanesville Westward Expansion was the 19th century movement of settlers into the American West. Fueled by the Gold Rush, the Oregon Trail, the Mormon Trail, and a belief in “manifest destiny,” hundreds of thousands of migrants made the slow and dangerous journey west, hauling their possessions in wagons. On May 22, 1844 the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy Party, a wagon train of 50 pioneers, left present-day Council Bluffs. The party successfully passed the Sierra Nevada mountain range at what would later be called the Donner Pass, and their path from Iowa to California would be copied by countless others.With a steam boat to ferry wagons and supplies across the Missouri River, Council Bluffs was a popular starting point for settlers, and the population of Council Bluffs grew rapidly during the last half of 19th century. In 1846, religious leader Brigham Young, the second leader of the Mormon Church, was driven out of Nauvoo, Illinois. Young and his followers travelled across Iowa on their way to a new home at the Great Salt Lake, stopping at Caldwell’s Camp. Figure 1 Sketch of Mormons crossing the plains by Council Bluffs Artist George Simons Members of the Mormon Church (also known as the Latter Day Saints) stayed in the Council Bluff area on both sides of the Missouri River. This area became a provisioning base for the Mormon’s westward migration. In 1848, the town became officially known as Kanesville, named for Thomas Kane, an attorney who helped Brigham Young. Figure 2 Brigham Young While in Kanesville, the Mormons had a ceremony to recognize Brigham Young as the president of the Church.

  • Kanesville Tabernacle Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States of America
    Kanesville Tabernacle Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States of America The Kanesville Tabernacle was where Brigham Young was sustained as the second Presi- dent and Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The tabernacle was construct- ed for the purpose of housing as many people as possible for a conference in December 1847 to re- organize the First Presidency of the Church. The conference was postponed so that a building large enough could be constructed. The tabernacle, was constructed in three weeks with the help of 200 men, as was believed to have been the largest log structure in the world.1 After its completion, the First Presidency was re- organized on December 27, 1847 with Brigham The Reconstructed Kanesville Tabernacle Young as President and Prophet of the Church Photo courtesy of Alexander L.

  • Nauvoo Family Trip June 2018
    Nauvoo Family Trip JuNe 2018 The girls in front of the Nauvoo Temple We decided to take a vacation to see the church historical sites (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) in the Midwestern United States. It will likely be our last family trip with all of us together as we now know it. We wanted to learn more about church history and see where it all took place. We also wanted to learn about our own family history and learn of their stories as many family members have ties to these historical sites. We had family that lived in Nauvoo, IL, Winter Quarters, NE, and we also had family die in Martin’s Cove in WY on their travels across the plains to Utah. Their stories of embracing the gospel and coming to America to gather in Zion are inspiring and amazing. I’m glad our children got to learn more about their heritage. It has been their favorite vacation and that includes Disneyland! 1 Itinerary June 6 (Wed): Drive to Maisey’s after work on Wednesday night 1. June 7 (Thurs): Drive from Ogden, UT to Omaha, NE – 13hrs 2. June 8 (Fri): Winter Quarters visitor center, Kanesville Tabernacle visitor center, Far West, Haun’s Mill, and Adam-Ondi-Ahman 3.
