A trip to Nauvoo

This is a layout that you could use for a variety of themes. Every year, our family goes to Nauvoo, a little town on the Mississippi River that has been restored to the 1840's time period. We learn how they made rope, bricks, candles, horseshoes, wagonwheels, bread in the bustle oven, etc.. We love the oxen pulled wagon ride too - especially when we get to meet and pet the oxen.
