The women of the church here in Nauvoo at that time wanted a purposeful organization to aid and assist one another with various needs whatever they may be. The first President of the Relief Society was Emma Smith, wife of the prophet Joseph Smith. She was elected by her fellow sisters at that time.
The re-enactment took place in the top floor of this store where it was originally organized.. A lot more history took place in the Red Brick store at the time Nauvoo was bustling with activity.
Myself and other sister missionaries were able to get a loaner dress from the sewing room here in Nauvoo for the event. I chose the brightest color I could. Blue.
The store is awesome and has many fun things you can buy. I am going back there another time to see what there is I might like.
