St. Joseph's Catholic Church: East 266 Ojibwa Road - Significant in religion with the Jesuits and the Catholic Church. In 1835, the Austrian priest, Father Frederic Baraga, founded a church on Madeline Island to minister to the Native Americans. In two weeks, the Catholics on the island helped construct a log church just south of the Indian Cemetery.By 1841 they needed a larger building and built on the present site. This building burned down in 1901 and was replaced with the present structure.
