The Seventies were men who belonged to a priesthood quorum, or group, in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served as missionaries. They built the hall in 1844 as their headquarters and as a place for lectures, worship services, the library, and a museum. When the Saints moved west, they took the library's books with them and founded the first public library between Missouri and California. Today the Seventies Hall contains a museum and a record of many who lived in Nauvoo during the 1840s.
