The original entrance to the home, around back. You walk down a flight of stairs, then come up through the basement. What were they thinking?
A view from the back porch of the old outhouse.

A very old couch, looks somewhat familiar!
Nauvoo was the highlight of our trip! We arrived Thursday evening, just in time to stop into the Visitor's Center and get some quick pointers for our stay. We checked into the Willard Richards home (Stephanie's Great-great-great-great-grandfather's home!) This home was frequented by the Prophet, Joseph Smith, many of the 12, and even Abraham Lincoln, who signed the Nauvoo Charter in the home! An extra cellar was added during the civil war, and many of the stones in the cellar were original temple stones. We even found a couch that resembled W.O.'s couch that is sitting in our living room right now! Stephanie's only complaint was that if felt like we were being charged to stay at Grandpa's house! It felt just like home!
