The Chapel In Nevada That’s Located In The Most Unforgettable Setting

St. Mary’s in the Mountains has the perfect name. The oldest Catholic church is set against the Virginia Mountain Range in Nevada and can be seen for miles around.

The church was originally built in 1868 and rebuilt in 1876 after it was damaged in a fire the year prior.
