Nauvoo State Park

Lake Horton is stocked with largemouth bass, channel catfish, and bluegill.^[1][2] Deer, skunks, opossum, and raccoon are among the native animals. Birds include cardinals, goldfinches, geese, ducks, and wood ducks.^[2]

Fishing and boating are available on Lake Horton. Hiking and cross-country skiing are allowed on two of the park's trails.

The Nauvoo State Park Museum is a house built by Mormons in the 1840s, remodeled by Icarians, and later owned by the Rheinberger family from 1850 to 1948.^[2][3] It has been staffed as a museum by the Nauvoo Historical Society since 1954.^[3] The restored home features a stone-arched wine cellar and a press room, and is the only Nauvoo wine cellar open to the public.^[2][3][4] This also is the location of Nauvoo's first vineyard, a 3-acre concord grape vineyard planted in 1851 which has been producing grapes since the mid-1800s.^[2][4][5] The museum itself exhibits artifacts from all periods of Nauvoo's history, including Native American, German, Mormon, Icarian, Civil War, and other artifacts.^[2][3]
