St. Mary's Mission, Catholic church and heritage site in Stevensville, United States.
St. Mary's Mission contains numerous log buildings, including a chapel, pharmacy, and visitor center within a designated historic district in Montana.
The mission, established in 1841 by Jesuit priests under Father Pierre Jean De Smet, represents the first permanent non-indigenous settlement in Montana.
The mission grounds include Chief Victor's home, traditional burial grounds, and St. Mary's Cemetery, reflecting both Native American and European influences.
Visitors can tour the mission complex from April through October, exploring the chapel, infirmary, and museum containing Salish artifacts and historical exhibits.
Two original apple trees remain on the grounds as physical evidence of the agricultural practices introduced by Jesuit missionaries in the 1800s.
