16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
St Rose Mission Site
This is the site of the St Rose Mission that was established in 1863. This church served the Metis (mix blood) families that called this area home. A cemetery was established in 1876 but unfortunately the markers were wooden and lost to a grass fire. This memorial pays respects to the church and the unmarked graves below the hill.
