The log chapel was originally built by Rev. Stephen Badin as a mission to the potawatomi Indians in northern Indiana. It was given in 1842 to Fr. Edward Sorin, and it became the original nucleus of the University of Notre Dame.[2] The original was destroyed in 1856 by a fire, and an identical replica was built in the same spot in 1906.[3]
In 1973 is was added to the National Register of Historic Places[4]
