HEBRON MISSION One of eight Moravian missions established between 1771 and 1904 on the Labrador Coast, the Hebron Mission was founded between 1829 and 1831 by the Moravian Brethren, a Central European Protestant sect. First occupied in 1837, the interconnected wooden church, house, and store have gable roofs and small dormer windows. The building is distinguished by bell-shaped cupolas similar to those found on the Hopedale Mission and other Moravian churches worldwide. Until 1959, the Hebron Mission provided religious instruction to the local Inuit, and was also an educational, commercial, and medical centre.

MISSION DE HEBRON L'une des huit missions moraves établies sur la côte du Labrador entre 1771 et 1904, celle de Hebron fut fondée entre 1829 et 1831 par les Frères moraves, une secte protestante d'Europe centrale. Occupés dès 1837, l'église de bois, la résidence et le magasin, tous reliés entre eux, ont des toits à deux versants et de petites lucarnes. Les coupoles du bâtiment, en forme de cloche, rappellent celles de la mission Hopedale et d'autres églises moraves de par le monde. Jusqu'en 1959, la mission de Hebron fournit l'instruction religieuse aux Inuits de la région, tout en servant de centre éducatif, commercial et médical.
