The Untold Nauvoo Stories Symposium is held annually at the Nauvoo Community Center on the second full weekend in February. This event is sponsored by the City of Nauvoo, Nauvoo Tourism Office, Nauvoo Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Nauvoo Historical Society.
The symposium celebrates the rich and diverse history of Nauvoo, from Native American peoples and pioneer settlers to religious and political refugees, as well as those seeking a better life for themselves and their families. It honors the many people who have contributed to making Nauvoo the unique community it is today.
This event provides a platform to share lesser-known stories, revisit important narratives through new historical research, and discover hidden histories. The two-day symposium features multiple presentations each day, including a keynote dinner presentation on Friday night. Everyone is welcome, whether you're a professional historian, a history enthusiast, or simply someone with an interest in Nauvoo’s fascinating past.
Same-day registrations and a meet-and-greet will be held at the registration table from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day at the Nauvoo Community Center. Presentations will begin at 10:00 a.m. and end at 5:15 p.m. each day. The Friday night keynote dinner will start at 5:30 p.m.
