Fall Conference Itinerary We will visit
the many church sites in Nauvoo and Carthage, Illinois then travel to New Salem and Springfield, Illinois
where we will tour several Abraham Lincoln sites. We will end our conference in
St Louis Missouri
at the famous St Louis
arch. Nauvoo, the beautiful, is located on the banks of the Mississippi River. Through faith and testimony the church
and city arose from the swamplands of the Mississippi
River to become a thriving settlement. Between 1839 and 1846,
Nauvoo became the religious, governmental, and cultural center for the Church. More
than 2,000 homes built of brick, frame, and logs housed the growing population.
The crowning glory was the magnificent temple, which was burned by mobsters as
the saints were driven out. Today, Nauvoo has been largely reconstructed,
featuring many of the prominent buildings with the rebuilt spectacular Nauvoo Temple
as a focal point. Carthage Jail Joseph, Hyrum, Willard
Richards and John Taylor, were held in the jail’s upper bedroom. A group of men
armed with guns rushed the jail. The four men tried to hold the door against
the mob but Hyrum was immediately shot and killed. The mob forced the door open
just as Joseph turned to leap out of the window. He was shot twice in the back
and twice in the chest as he fell from the second-story window. John Taylor was
shot four times but miraculously survived. Willard Richards escaped without
even a hole in his clothing. New Salem,
Illinois New Salem
is a recently reconstructed site where Lincoln
spent his early years. It consists of 12 log homes, a tavern, 10 workshops,
stores, mills and a school. Life is represented as it might have been in the
1830’s. Springfield, Illinois
is home to the Abraham Lincoln
Presidential Library and Museum. The 200,000 square foot complex
features public experiences, galleries and theater presentations that are more
than 50% larger than any other presidential library. Springfield also has early church ties with
Joseph Smith. In the later part of 1842 the governor of Illinois
was requested to sign an extradition order for Joseph Smith to be taken to Missouri to be tried for the attempted murder of the
former governor of Missouri. Joseph demanded that he be tried in Illinois and so a trial was begun in Springfield, Illinois
on December 23, 1842. Joseph’s
discussions with his court-appointed attorney helped to form part of the
definition of a testimony. St Louis, Missouri This national park site the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial includes the world-famous St. Louis arch,
museum, and grounds. [$18 fee not included]

The Future of
Collegium Aesculapium
It is a great time for this
Foundation. We have a large and active
membership body, CME accreditation, excellent meetings and tours, and a
supportive board. Now that our major
goal of CME accreditation is achieved, we would like to start looking again
into the future. What goals should we
set? What type of events should we
plan? How can we do good
in our communities, church and world?
As we go through this process, we need your
input. At times we may send specific questionnaires
to gather information. However, your
suggestions are the key to our creativity and future. Please send us any thoughts or suggestions
that can help mold the future of Collegium Aesculapium.
An upcoming edition will include the “Specialty
Pearls” section. If you have a “Pearl” of information
about what is new in your specialty or medicine in general, please send it to newsletter@collegiumaesculapium.org
and we will include it in an upcoming newsletter.
