I have never been to Nauvoo but i owned a house in upstate NY- Lansing to be exact which was,said that Brigham Young had worked on during the building ca.1814. I spent a day in the Mormon archives in Provo Utah hoping to establish that so I could market the house, which we operated as a B&B inn to a Mormon clientele but the best research i could find was done by a local Mormon scholar who documented Young's earlyy career as a carpenter's assistant. His,mother is buried in the local cemetery there
