In our Museum, books that Bishop Baraga wrote and used during his teachings and ministry as a priest and missionary are on display.

Some notable works include:

The Grammar and Dictionary of the Otchipwe Language, written by Baraga to teach Native Americans to read and write, and to help missionaries learn the Native American language. This book is still in use today.

Shepherd Rules His Flock, a book on the rules and teachings of the Catholic Church in the Upper Peninsula, written in Latin.

Dushna Pasha, a prayer book for the lay faithful, written in Slovenian.

Also on display is Baraga’s personal copy of Alban Butler’s, Lives of the Saints, which contains Baraga’s personal notes.

Come and experience the Baraga House and see Bishop Baraga's artifacts!
