This charming old home was originally the Presbyterian Parsonage built under the direction of The Reverend George a Pflug, who served the Church next door from 1891 to 1898. The building originally had no plumbing, being served by the well that remains in the backyard. Many old timers in Nauvoo remember that this home was later the cherished residence of Dr. Walter Haggett and his family. His granddaughter, Mary Clarke, wrote a book of memories for her family that included life in Nauvoo and visits to the home. The home sits on land that was previously owned circa 1840-1846 by Alexander Scoby Standley, a Mormon Pioneer. Alexander served as one of Joseph Smith’s minutemen, and his wife, Philinda Upson was a member of the first Relief Society organized in Nauvoo. They were both “zealous in the cause” and were among the few who received their endowments in the Nauvoo Temple in January of 1846. The Standleys left Nauvoo in February of 1846 to trek west with the Saints. They arrived in Utah in 1852 and settled in Richmond, Utah.
The Reverend Pflug, the Haggetts and the Standleys gathered here on this property many years ago~we honor their memory and hope that this will be a gathering place for many more families and friends coming to see Beautiful Nauvoo
