St. Ignace Mission, Catholic mission station in St. Ignace, United States.
The white wooden chapel stands near Lake Huron, featuring traditional colonial architecture with a steep roof and rectangular windows.
Father Jacques Marquette established this mission in 1671 to connect with Native American communities along the Straits of Mackinac.
The Museum of Ojibwa Culture inside the chapel presents exhibits about indigenous traditions and early French-Native American interactions.
Visitors can explore the mission grounds, chapel museum, and Father Marquette's burial site daily from May through October.
The chapel structure moved to its current location in 1954, making it the longest-standing Catholic church building in Michigan and Wisconsin.
