Historic Sites
Visit the brick home that the Kimball family occupied for approximately four months before they were forced to leave and join the Church of Latter Day Saint's westward trek.
The Kimball’s home was completed on November 12, 1845, after about six months of construction. This large brick home replaced a log home the family had been living in since 1841. However, the Kimballs did not get to enjoy their new home for long. Only three months later, in February 1846, they left Nauvoo with many other Saints who departed for the west.
