Relief Society Organization Commemoration at the Red Brick Store

On March 17th the Sisters of the Nauvoo Visitor Center Mission re-enacted the organization of the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo.  If you look on the top row, you will see Joseph Smith, Emma, Willard Richards and John Taylor. The upper floor of the Red Brick Store is the actual site where the organization took place.  We boarded horse drawn carriages at the Visitor Center and were taken back there by the same mode after the re-enactment.  The horses are Persherons and Belgian Draft horses.  They are HUGE.  Lots goin on here.  Today I served in Lands and Records where visitors can look up their ancestors who lived in Nauvoo and find where they lived, if they owned or rented property and also get a disc containing family group sheets, histories, whatever Nauvoo Lands and Records has about them.  If any of you have someone you want me to look up, let me know.  Poppa was in the blacksmith shop giving a horseshoe making demonstration and bestowing prairie diamond rings.  Its only in the 40's here to day.  Yesterday, it was 78.  Well, thats Spring in Nauvoo.  Love ya, Gramma Jann
