The Way We Were Walking Tour of Mulholland Street is a self-guided journey through the history of Nauvoo’s business district, spanning from the 1850s to the 1960s. Developed by local residents Karen Ihrig-Gilbert and Gene Shurts, this tour is currently maintained by the Nauvoo Historical Society.
All of the informational sheets for the tour are available to preview or download on this website. Upon your visit to Nauvoo, printed copies will also be available for our guests at the Nauvoo Tourism Office. QR codes are now on each building so you can easily see the history of the buildings in downtown Nauvoo.
In 2011, the tour received the prestigious Illinois Governor's Home Town Award, and it has since been a cherished experience for many visitors to our community.
