Review & Rating
A very nice pre-Colonial era church in the Wall Street area. It is currently undergoing renovation but the chapel is open. I wandered the historical graveyard and although the stones are badly eroded, you can locate the final resting places of Hamilton, Fulton, Frances Lewis, etc. Nice respite from the hustle-and-bustle of Manhattan.
Hamilton was a great man. He worked with General George Washington. Hamilton died so young R.I.P you were amazing love you
Beautiful gothic church. Currently closed for major rehab work. Grave yard is a nice peaceful tree filled place. Out includes graves of Alexander Hamilton, Robert Fulton and some other interesting folks
Ancestors Helped Build Somewhere Around 1790 Grand AnD Beautiful . Right At Wall St . Under Renovation To 2020 But OPEN IN The Chapel & Lawns . St. Paul's Right Up The Block And May Be Visited Your Will Not Miss out . Busy Area Be Prepared A New York Adventure . And When Walking Through New York Crowded Areas Always Watch Your Pockets !
Here lies Alexander Hamilton and wife Widow Eliza. The architecture in this church is masterful, composed of the finest ashlar, laid with care and computation of an enlightened architect. Many prominent Americans lie here, as well as time capsules in the cemetery. The icons are very catholic in nature, but the church is actually Episcopalian. The staff are very informative...very surreal being so close to the likes of Alexander Hamilton. Currently, no indoor tours are given due to renovation, yet even the outside is very interesting to any traveling man, interested in the origins of our collective idea, known as America.
The music program at Trinity is among the best in New York City. It’s often free—check their website for details. The church’s history and architecture combine to make it a cultural “Must See” for visitors and residents alike. The services are beautiful, the sermons tend to be enlightening—liberal, progressive Christianity at its best.
Main Hall closed for renovations, side chapel was open with 3 Thug security guards at the side door making people assume the position and get scanned with hand held metal detectors, then another Thug on his cell phone in the back of the chapel said “it be closed back hear”. I’ve been hear many times over the past thirty years and never had to go through security to see the church, and the low class thugs they have working there. Then the always “Give Generously” donation boxes LOL, from the wealthiest individual parish in the world. They make over a 160 million dollars each year on rent from land they own in lower Manhattan, talk about greed!
What a beautiful church.. The history behind it was awesome. We walked the gaveyard next to it as well. Fascinating.
Beautiful church and grounds. One of the last sites left of old New York City. Make sure To see all the historic grave sites. Feeling nostalgic after your visit? Go to Fraunces Tavern on pearl st after for a bite and some drinks.
This is an icon of NYC. Alot of history here and the original grave sites are intact some of them are over a centennial in age. Really great to see the history of NY preserved in such a fine manner. If you are in the area this is a must see. Currently undergoing a major overhaul but it will be well worth it in the end.
