Dedicated in 1978, the memorial on these grounds honors women of the past, present, and future. The beautiful sculpture garden displays statues representing the different stages and roles in a woman's life.
This is a lovely garden but I can’t help but wonder if these were Joseph Smith’s plural wives. Nauvoo is where he received revelation that he was to take more wives.
