St. Ignace Mission is now a municipal 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 moved here in 1954.
It was one of the earliest declared U.S. National Historic Landmarks, declared in 1960.[1][3]
