Guests may enjoy spring planting of either field corn or soy beans on our working grain farm. Summer months bring time to watch the crops grow. In the fall, guest may enjoy harvest of the crops and an occasional combine siting. Lavender will be added as an additional crop this spring for guests to enjoy along with other garden crops. Two wineries are available in the Nauvoo area. Baxter’s Vineyard, located in Nauvoo and Press House Winery located 5 minutes from the Sonora Town Hall Cottage. We are located three miles from the Mighty Mississippi River. We are five generational farmers in rural Nauvoo. The town hall was purchased from the Sonora Township in 2003. We then restored the 1880 building and opened in 2005. We love sharing this wonderful piece of history from 1880. This property is perfect for couples, those who are celebrating a special occasion, honeymooners, and those who are wanting all things peace and quiet during their stay. We hope you visit soon!
