Sacred Heart Catholic Church, built by Jesuit priests, held its first service December 2, 1900; after seventy years of operation the last service was held July 4, 1971. The facility was closed. The magnificent barrel-vaulted ceiling, the ninety-two stained glass windows in the building and the intricate brickwork make up this architectural gem.

After enduring years of vacancy, vandalism, and near destruction, this treasured historic site was reopened in 1987 as a prized landmark and a vibrant facility for community use as a cultural center. The old Rectory building, the former Convent building, and the Sacred Heart School building (original church building, built in 1864 house the offices of local arts groups and other non-profit organizations.

Many special events including exceptional choral concerts, Christmas events, a unique garden festival, tours, and much more are held at Sacred Heart. Works of local artists are exhibited in the Art Gallery and unique souvenirs including a collection of regional books are available for purchase in the Gift Shop.
Guided as well as self-guided tours are available; call for information.
