St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church in downtown Omaha turned 150 in 2018. Over the years the church has seen a lot, including the lowering of Dodge Street in the early 20th century, renovations in the late 1990s and the long-awaited addition of a steeple in 2007. It is interesting that it took only one year - 1868 - to build this Gothic-style cathedral. Apparently, one year was a normal time frame to build something this grand back then, these are the official narratives the public has been given. Over 20 feet of dirt buried the lower half of the cathedral which is left unexplained. The onslaught of mud buried this cathedral at some unknown point in time. Our official history can not account for its appearance. | |||
