It commemorates the history and legacy of the Moravian Church's mission at Hebron, which played a vital role in the lives of the Labrador Inuit people. The Hebron Mission was established in 1831 by the Moravian Church as part of its efforts to bring Christianity and education to the indigenous Inuit communities in Labrador. The mission served as a hub for religious, educational, and social activities, providing a place of worship, school, and support for the Inuit population. The historic site encompasses the remains of the original mission buildings, including the church, mission house, school, and other structures. These buildings reflect the architectural style and way of life of the missionaries and the Inuit community during that time. Visiting the Hebron Mission National Historic Site offers a unique opportunity to learn about the historical and cultural significance of the Moravian mission and its impact on the Inuit people. Interpretive displays, exhibits, and guided tours provide insights into the daily life, challenges, and accomplishments of the missionaries and the Inuit community. The site also provides a peaceful setting where visitors can appreciate the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, which includes breathtaking views of the coast and nearby fjords.
