200 Year Old Church Found at Mount St. Mary's

On the campus of Mount St. Mary's, construction workers uncovered a part of the University's history that had remained a secret for more than 200 years.

During a dorm renovation project, workers uncovered the original campus chapel dating back to 1824. No one even knew it was there.

Once the plaster was removed, University officials could clearly see the brick walls, windows, alcoves and original pillars.

Officials had planned to turn the area into a dorm lounge but will now restore the original chapel so future generations can enjoy it.
