Pendleton Home & Log School
745 Kimball St, Nauvoo, IL 62354
Historic Sites
This replica log home demonstrates school classroom practices from the 1840s.
This modest log home represents the growing urban landscape of Nauvoo. Like other young families, the Pendletons found ways to make ends meet while sharing their talents with the community. The school addition on the back of their home serves as a reminder of the Latter-day Saint emphasis on education in Nauvoo, an emphasis that persists in the Church today.
The replica log home, with its lean-to schoolroom added in the back, is characteristic of hundreds of similar log homes that were part of Nauvoo in the 1840s. None of these wooden log homes have survived. The Nauvoo city plat allowed for a schoolhouse to be built in each of the city’s four wards. The schoolhouse in the Fourth Ward was never built.
