Old Mission State Park, National Historic Landmark in Cataldo, United States
The Mission of the Sacred Heart stands as the primary structure within Old Mission State Park, featuring traditional architectural elements and period furnishings.
Constructed between 1850 and 1853, the Mission of the Sacred Heart represents the first permanent building in Idaho and showcases traditional carpentry without metal nails.
The Sacred Encounters exhibition at the visitor center presents artifacts and documents detailing interactions between Jesuit missionaries and the Coeur d'Alene Tribe.
The park provides guided tours of the mission building, access to interpretive trails, and educational programs about regional history throughout the operating season.
The interior walls display a blue coloration derived from crushed huckleberries, while wooden statues were crafted to create the appearance of marble surfaces.
