Hidden underneath some brush in South Omaha sits a stone grotto that few people even know exists. St. Joseph’s Grotto was once a place for prayer, healing, and quiet reflection, but now it’s been locked up for more than a decade. Curious Omaha producer Andy Hermann explores the history, and uncertain future, of one of the city’s forgotten landmarks. Guests, in order of appearance: Blake Ursch, former Omaha World-Herald features reporter; Beth Cody, garden historian, Lourdes Grottos of North America; Mike Miller, photography hobbyist and self-described seeker.
