In the mid-19th century, Omaha joined progressive cities that were establishing schools for girls' education. The Episcopal Church founded Brownell Hall, an all-girls secondary boarding school in Saratoga. It officially opened on September 17, 1863[1]. Located at present-day 400 North Happy Hollow, this private religious school was named after an Episcopal bishop of New York, and was first located in the Saratoga Springs Hotel, a defunct resort. Students came to the school from Nebraska City, Bellevue, Florence, Fontanelle, Decatur and Omaha.[2] The school moved to 16th and Jones in 1867, and in 1883 to 10th Street in downtown Omaha.[3] In 1923 it moved to a central Omaha location. Today it is the oldest school in continuous operation in Nebraska.[4][5]
