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.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/66000398.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: St. Ignace Mission] |32 KB|date=May 7, 1975 |author=Joseph Scott Mendinghall |publisher=National Park Service and PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/66000398.pdf "Accompanying four photos, from 1974"] |32 KB]
