Other projects to be completed in Nauvoo include:- Refurbishing the seven-acre Pioneer Saints Cemetery, which was recently acquired from the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
- Reconstructing the A. Hamer Reiser Cobbler shop on its original site.
- Rebuilding the Stoddard Tinsmith Shop.
