Although it was under renovations when we went, we still got to see what we came for, HAMILTON!!! Can't wait to go back when it's fully reopened.

Trinity Church is in Lower Manhattan, at the corner of Wall St and Broadway. .It is a functioning parish of the Episcopal Church, feel free worship there, particularly if you are a member of the Anglican Communion. Trinity Church controls billions of dollars in property investments, making it one New York City's richest landlords. The graveyard is interesting, it contains the mortal remains of several well known New Yorkers, in particular Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the US Treasury. By the way, if you are looking for the grave of Ed Koch, the former New York Cityrmayor, it's at the other Trinity Church as the other end of Manhattan.…

While visiting the financial district in a very cold day, we decided to stop and visit Trinity Church, which is located withing walking distance from the NYSE. This Gothic church has a nice burial site around it, and in this neighborhood made of high skyscrapers it really stands out.

We loved that it was also very warm inside, which was pleasant considering the rainy and cold weather we were enduring when we visited. Overall a wonderful attraction. …

From the origins of the United States, Columbia University, and the Anglican Communion in the Americas, Trinity Church has been a part of it all. George Washington and Alexander Hamilton (the latter’s final resting place is here) were both worshipers in this building. If not to say a prayer, the history and architecture of this building are enough to merit a visit and pay respects. The Wall St. and Rector St. subway stations make it very accessible, and from there you could walk down Wall Street past the NYSE, the Charging Bull, all the way to Battery Park, Castle Clinton, and on your way to the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Ferries.…
