If you want something to do on a cold December day, this is a great place to visit, especially to see the gingerbread house display. There must have been a couple hundred gingerbread houses, made by various community groups, and they are on full display. The exhibit is free, and it is worth the time.

I took my daughter to see the gingerbread display on Christmas Eve afternoon. The displays were gorgeous, and the staff/volunteers were so kind and gracious and welcoming. It was a great way to spend an hour, getting into the Christmas spirit. We'll definitely go again next year.

We went to see the gingerbread house exhibit. It was amazing the variety of houses made and the Christmas trees were beautiful. My favorite one was decorated with tea cups and milk jugs. It's free and well worth a visit.

The Missionaries here were very informative about the displays and sharing their testimonies of the Gospel with us. This was the purpose of the trip to Nauvoo to visit as many of the Church History Sites as we could. It was well worth the stop here.

A Morman co-worker was in town working with me and wanted to see the museum. He gave me tremendous insight of the Morman faith. And I was very happy to allow him the time to vist the Winter Quarters, I could see it meant a lot to him.We have worked together in his home-town Salt Lake and I have a greater respect for him!!

The visitors' center gives us a great picture of what it was like to be a pioneer in the 1840s. I didn't realize that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints helped to settle Omaha and so many cities in Iowa across the river. This a must-see for anyone who wants to understand each step of the church's migration west.

A visit to this center was so very informative. Interesting short video and wonderful exhibits taught us a bit of history about which we had been completely unaware. Well worth the visit.

All of the borchures and literature that we saw ahead of our visit here gave us the understanding that this was a historical site offering an overview of the challenges faced by the Mormon pioneers. We found, instead, that it tends to be a religious, rather than historic attraction. We were greeted by an enthusiastic young lady of the Mormon faith who served as our tour guide and whose "mission" it was to inform us of the merits of their religion while taking us through the exhibits. Unfortunately, we were unable to appreciate or study the exhibits and learn about the pioneer's experience as the emphasis of the tour was from the religious rather than the historic viewpoint. If you go, be prepared for a religious tour not an historic one.

I am not LDS, but was interested in the story of the winter camp in that area. The center was set up in such a way that you would have to submit to one on one interaction with a mormon missionary - I was expecting more of a museum experience so didn't stay.
