- CIChris InfangerAug 18, 20195.0There's a reason that the Brick Yard is one of the classic experiences of Old Nauvoo. A short history lesson and demonstration about how bricks are made and how they factored in to the economy, architecture, and archaeology of Nauvoo is surprisingly fascinating and gives insight into the people and history of the area.
