Description

Father Lacombe was a larger-than-life priest who built this mission in the 1860s. He was well respected by all that knew him, even his enemies. The mission he built has been restored to its original condition. It allows visitors to descriptively imagine what life was like when people lived on the edge of the western frontier. Demonstrations, educational programs, and guided tours are all regular features.
