A Piece of History - Authentic - Stone from the Original Nauvoo Temple - LDS

1844 Original Nauvoo Temple Stone – Zions Mercantile general store sits on almost two acres of land in right across the street from the Nauvoo Temple in downtown Historic Nauvoo.  When the basement for the new Nauvoo Temple was being dug this land had no building on it.  Since our location would be a short & easy trip for trucks hauling dirt we were asked if the workers could off load dirt on this lot.  Among the nearly two hundred loads of dirt were many large & small pieces of the old original Nauvoo temple.  Some are on display around the property and in this store.  We have recently begun creating these beautiful mounted stones from the original Nauvoo temple.   100% of the money raised from these historic stones is used to maintain & add to the beauty of this special corner.  We are grateful to any who would purchase one of these remarkable keepsakes as it helps in a special way to add to the beauty of Historic Nauvoo. Each stone sits on a hand-stained wood piece about 5″ long.  Each stone varies in size but are generally 2″ wide and 4″ tall.  Each piece is significant in size – these are not small chips of stone.  We are confident you’ll treasure this timeless keepsake!
