Church of St. Francis Xavier is a historic church on
Ojibwe residents of the area. The permanent structure was built in 1895 and was used until declining attendance forced it to close in 1936. The Cook County Historical society restored the site between 1970 and 1974 and it was added to the National Register in 1986.[2] The church is located in the abandoned townsite of Chippewa City.[3]
