Be surrounded by Nez Perce National Park makes this little country church rather unique.

According to the sign (see photo)this beautiful little church is still active. With no sign covering hours and so forth on site, I placed a call to park headquarters, who's staff was friendly and helpful though they had no contact information or service hours for the church. They did however confirm that there are services here every week. This church building is near main exhibit area of the park but uniquely sits on private property, as does the cemetery connected with the church. A large grove of trees separates the two, but the cemetery is equally interesting and contains the grave of the original missionary, Henry Spalding. For more historic information see:
