Students know Father Jacques Marquette because of his trip down the Mississippi river with Louis Jolliet, which is the answer to the question, who discovered the Mississippi River; Marquette and Jolliet. Before that time, Marquette founded a mission at what was to be known as St Ignace across the Straits of Mackinac on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This marker relates the history of Father Marquette's stay in the St. Ignace area.
