This annual tradition honors the pioneers driven from their homes in Nauvoo, IL, in 1846, due to religious persecution. They eventually settled much of the intermountain west. Each year on the first Saturday in February, Historic Nauvoo marks the beginning of that migration. Descendants don name tags with ancestral names, and friends march along one of the paths taken by wagon trains seeking to cross the Mississippi River into Iowa during a frigid winter. The short program features remarks by current local leaders in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Video produced by the Historic Nauvoo Communication Council.
