St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Nebraska City, NE - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

St Mary's Episcopal Church was founded in 1857 when Nebraska was still a territory. The first building was located on the edge of the town and is described in Morton and Watkins 1905 History of Nebraska.

"The first church edifice in the state was St. Mary's, Nebraska City. It was a beautiful church, situated in a very romantic spot in the valley between what was then Nebraska City and Kearney City. A lovely stream of pure water flowed by it and a bit of wood enfolded it in rural solitude. It was long since removed from that spot to the town, and now forms a part of the present St. Mary's"

In 1866 the building was physically moved into the center of Nebraska City. The present transepts are part of major renovations and construction in 1892. Addition construction was done in 1948 and 1960. A sign at the church summarizes its history.
