Monument to Women Memorial Garden is a statuary monument in Nauvoo, Illinois, owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The monument is a two-acre garden with twelve statues depicting traditional women's roles. It was constructed in the 1970s to serve as a replacement for the Relief Society monument and designed to promote the woman's values which the LDS Church believed were threatened by the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Dennis Smith and Florence Hansen sculpted the bronze statues and church president Spencer W. Kimball dedicated the monument on June 30, 1978.

The current Latter-day Saints Temple was dedicated in 2002, and the Greek Revival exterior closely resembles the original, 19th century temple on this spot. It's the only temple owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today to have a bell tower. Like other LDS temples, only Church members with a temple "recommend" can enter.
