Friday morning, Dec. 7 - Brunch in the Historic Nauvoo House. “Emma” will serve a brunch in her own dining room.
Friday afternoon, Dec. 7 - Tour of the Joseph Smith sites. Tour the Homestead, Mansion House and Red Brick Store and hear personal, little-know stories of Joseph and Emma and their family.
Friday evening, Dec. 7 - 1840s Christmas Party in the Nauvoo House. The Taylors, Kimballs and Pratts invite you to join them in a Christmas celebration in the Nauvoo House, all decked out in period Christmas decor. Partake of wassail and holiday treats. Join in the music, dancing, story telling and surprises.

Saturday evening, Dec. 8 - Tree lighting ceremony at Historic Nauvoo Visitors Center. Gather with local citizens, LDS missionaries and the mayor of Nauvoo for this annual event. Enjoy special musical numbers and then join with the choir and high school band in singing Christmas carols as the switch is flipped and the two-story Christmas tree glows with thousands of lights.
Saturday evening, Dec. 8 - Wagon rides and historic home tours. The horse-drawn wagons, jingling with sleigh bells and decorated with fresh pine garland and lights, will take you through Historic Nauvoo, its streets lined with luminaries, to tour the 30 decorated homes and shops.
