Richardson’ s Point
The migration of Mormon faithful from Nauvoo, Illinois to Salt Lake City passed through Southern Iowa and the traces are still there. At Richardson’ s Point, a wooden location in Van Buren County, a wood fence and a sign mark out the spot where two pioneers from the Mormon Trail are buried. The camp was created when progress stalled out after heavy rain made travel too difficult. It came early in the trek, a bit more than 50 miles from Nauvoo. The graves themselves are among the first along the trail. Archaeologists are still trying to pin down precisely where the boundaries of the extended camp were. The site has been protected by the Klodt family for decades.
