The St. Ignace Mission is located in a municipal park known as Marquette Mission Park. It was the site of a mission established by Père Jacques Marquette, and the site of his grave in 1677. A second mission was established at a different site in 1837, and the chapel was moved here in 1954. The second mission chapel is the oldest Catholic church in Michigan and Wisconsin.[5] The St. Ignace Mission was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1956,[1] and was declared a U.S. National Historic Landmarks in 1960, one of the earliest sites recognized.[3] The mission chapel currently serves as the Museum of Ojibwa Culture.
