Mission Church
This is one of Michigan’s oldest Protestant churches. It was built in 1829-30 by the Presbyterian flock of Reverend William M. Ferry, founder in 1823 of a nearby Indian mission. Robert Stuart and Henry Schoolcraft were lay leaders. About 1838 private owners bought the building. It is judged Michigan’s best example of the New England Colonial church style.
