EDITORS COMMENTS
"The Old Mission Church, nestled on the picturesque shores of Mackinac Island in Michigan, USA, stands as a testament to the rich history of this unique American destination. Dating back to 1829, this historic wooden church has been a beacon of faith and community for over 180 years. Situated on the eastern end of the island, the Old Mission Church overlooks the crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron and Lake Mackinac, providing a breathtaking backdrop for this cherished place of worship. Built by Father Jacques Marquette and Father Claude Allouez, the Old Mission Church is a significant part of the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse and Mission State Historic Site. The church's striking architecture, with its steeple reaching towards the heavens, is a reflection of the area's French-Canadian heritage. The intricate carvings and stained glass windows add to the church's charm and allure, making it a must-visit attraction for tourists and history enthusiasts alike. The Old Mission Church has withstood the test of time, surviving various natural disasters and the passage of time. Its preservation is a testament to the dedication of the community and the importance of preserving historical sites for future generations.
