Saint Mary of the Plains opened in 1952 and welcomed its first students that fall. For 40 years, it was an important part of our community before closing in 1992.

Stop by the Legacy Center to take a look at our exhibit featuring photos, memories, and history from Saint Mary of the Plains. While you're here, be sure to check out our other exhibits, too.

We'd love to have you visit!
