The Tours
Martyrdom Trail Tour - Nauvoo to Carthage
Walk the paths. Feel the story. Witness the sacrifice
Step into the final days of the Prophet Joseph Smith’s life as you journey from the heart of Nauvoo to the solemn walls of Carthage Jail. This immersive tour traces the very footsteps of Joseph and his brother Hyrum—two noble men who willingly left behind the safety of Nauvoo, their families, and their homes, fully aware that the road to Carthage could end with their lives.
Stand where their voices echoed through history—where timeless words were spoken with conviction and power. As we retrace the final 20 days of Joseph Smith’s life, history unfolds not as a distant story, but as a living testimony.
Whether this is your first visit or you have stood within the walls of Carthage Jail before, you will uncover profound, lesser-known insights and sacred truths that bring new depth to one of the most defining moments in Church history. Along the way, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the courage, conviction, and prophetic destiny of two of the Restoration’s greatest martyrs.
This is more than a history tour—it is a soul-stirring experience that invites you to reflect, remember, and reconnect with the price of the restoration and fulfilled prophecies.
Signs in Nauvoo - Prophecies Fulfilled
See the past with new eyes. Remember what was never meant to be forgotten.
This inspiring tour through historic Nauvoo reveals a tapestry of prophecy, fulfillment, and divine purpose woven into the early days of the Restoration. Walk the streets where ancient prophecies met reality, and where sacred promises—both familiar and often overlooked—came to life.
Many visitors are surprised and uplifted to see well-known prophecies in a new light, while also discovering profound, lesser-known fulfillments hidden in plain sight throughout Nauvoo’s history. As in ancient times, Saints today are sometimes unaware—or too quick to forget—the miraculous works God has performed in our own day. This journey is designed to change that.
Created to strengthen both young and seasoned Saints alike, this tour reconnects our generation with the covenantal story of the Restoration of the house of Israel. By linking modern prophetic moments with ancient scripture, it calls us to remember—to see clearly the great things the Lord has done and is doing to remember the covenants made to Abraham, Issac and Jacob.
