So, before I say or post anything, please keep in mind that I am not trying to be religious or preachy whatsoever. I’m just posting something I found.

I was at a thrift store, trying to find some things that we could use for volunteering at a school. While there, I found this for $1.19.

I got it, because it ties in with my churches history. Not planning on using it at the school, for obvious reasons.

It’s a very interesting brick, don’t you think?

Interesting history.

The LDS Church operates a brickworks at Nauvoo to produce these as souvenirs.

I understand that miniature ones are given out to visitors on guided tours and larger ones sold in the gift shop. I’ve seen others in fancy colours too.

Thanks for the info. Makes me wonder how it ended up here in Idaho.

Well, Nauvoo is a place of historic interest for visitors, whether members of the LDS or just plain tourists with no particular religious affiliation.

Thanks for telling me that. I appreciate it. It’s fun to learn about this type of stuff.
