The Idaho Historical Marker #112 Lapwai Mission, located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 95 and South in Nez Perce County, stands as an important testament to the rich history and culture of the Nez Perce Tribe. Established in 1836 by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions and the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, the mission served as a religious and educational center for Native Americans in the region.

However, tensions between the Nez Perce people and settlers led to its abandonment in 1726. Today, the Lapwai Mission is part of the National Register of Historic Places, ensuring its preservation as an enduring symbol of Native American history in Idaho. The missions location near the TANF Building - Wood Shop, NiMiiPuu Health, and DTS on or around Weeptes Drive in Lapwai, ID 83540 further emphasizes its significance within the broader Nez Perce National Historic Park.

As a crucial part of the parks historical landscape, the Lapwai Mission continues to hold great importance for those who appreciate and value the cultural heritage of the Native American community in Idaho.
