About
Trinity Church, located at Broadway and Wall Street, is an active Episcopal church with a deep history. In 1697, a little over 70 years after the Dutch settled New York as a trading post known as New Amsterdam, Trinity Church was granted a charter by King William III of England. Since then, Trinity has been an integral part of New York City. Today, Trinity Church and St. Paul’s Chapel (just a few blocks north) are the cornerstones of Trinity Church Wall Street, a growing and vibrant Episcopal community. Sunday services at 9:15am are also held in Trinity's Chapel of All Saints, and 9am family service and 8 pm Compline services take place at St. Paul’s Chapel. During the week, you can join us in the Chapel of All Saints at these times as well: Morning Prayer Weekdays at 8:15 am and 9 am; Midday Eucharist Weekdays at 12:05 pm; and Evening Prayer Weekdays at 5:15 pm.

    A historical site to visit
    A very impressive church. We decided to visit the church and cemetery. We went through security to enter the church. The security workers were very nice and friendly. We went mainly to visit the cemetery. It’s a neat historical place to visit.

    Reverence In the City
    Trinity Church is a great place to visit and full and so much history. The grave sites of Alexander Hamilton, Eliza Hamilton, their son and Robert Fulton are located there. It was especially fun to visit the church and follow up that night with watching Hamilton at the Richard Rogers Theatre. The church is magnificent with such architectural design. The grounds are very tranquil and serene. The location is perfect for walking from the Downtown Marriott. No charge to enter, but I did make a donation to the church.

    Trinity Church with Hamilton Loving Teens
    So little in New York is free and really worth experiencing. Trinity Church is that place. The beautiful church and adjoining rooms, combined with the excitement of seeing Alexander, Eliza, and Phillip Hamilton’s resting place, make this a must see for any Hamilton fan. And Hercules Mulligan! My teens really enjoyed this stop, and it’s proximity to the WTC memorial made it a moving, inexpensive morning. If you’re looking to up the cost, be sure to stop by Century 21 department store nearby.

    Passing by within 5 minutes of the organ striking up…
    …so I went in for the 11.15am Sunday Eucharist. It’s a really attractive physical environment and at a human level, it’s warm, welcoming and friendly. It was almost ‘standing room only’. When the organist did start playing, the sound that ricocheted around the building was magnificent, no less so the singing from the circa 16 choristers. They were seriously impressive, their harmonies pitch perfect, powerful, sensitive, rich and evocative. The service itself was straightforward and easily navigable thanks to a very professionally presented and engaging service pamphlet. And Matthew who delivered the sermon was thankfully relevant and appropriately ‘entertaining’. 75 minutes later and I re-entered the secular world thoroughly uplifted, thoroughly energised.

    Historic church
    Historic Episcopal church in the Gothic Revival style - It’s the third church building to be constructed on this site. There’s a quick bag check to enter the church. Adjacent to the church is the Trinity Churchyard where several notable figures are buried - Alexander Hamilton, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, Philip Hamilton, Angelica Schuyler Church, Hercules Mulligan, Robert Fulton, William Bradford, & more.

    New York's Trinity Church is a remarkable structure in Manhattan. Surrounded by Wall Street's tall skyscrapers, it maintains a tranquil, secluded character. Interior is simple but solemn. The stained glass is impressive.

    Beautiful church and fascinating historical cemetery
    Most people visit this church for the cemetery. It’s incredible to see so many well preserved tombstones, many of which are pre-revolutionary war. The grounds are very well cared for, and the security guards that patrol the church are polite and professional. If you have time, it’s worth a quick stop to pay respects and also visit Alexander and Elisa Hamilton’s graves.

I have visited before but had to stop by again now that the cemetery and grounds have re-opened to public visits. The architecture of the church is just stunning and the cemetery is full of old, ornate headstones and recognizable names from American history. Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler Hamilton are here, along with other notable members of their families and cohorts of their time. Worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood.

The present Neo Gothic Church you see today was built in the mid 19 century on the grounds of two previous ones dating back to late 17 and 18 century. Therefore it's considered to be the oldest in NYC.
Trinity Church is set in the middle of Financial lower Manhattan district with many other attractions nearby. Entry is free for both, the Church itself and the adjacent cemetery. The cemetery has two parts on both sides of the Church with final resting places of important historic figures such as Alexander Hamilton and Robert Fulton.

I came here to see the Hamilton gravesite and others buried nearby. Unfortunately, you weren't able to get in. When we tried to sweet talk the security guard, they referred to it as the site where "Anthony Hamilton" was buried. I couldn't deal with that so I left. Thankfully, you can see Alexander Hamilton's grave site from the road outside. Not really anybody else's but definitely his. Hopefully they will open back up to tours and to allow visitors to walk the grounds again.

My wife and I saw Trinity Church from the outside in July 2021. I have visited the church and cemetery many times in the past. Unfortunately this time it was closed to visitors while it undergoes renovation. You can see the grave of Alexander Hamilton from the outside by peering through the fence.

A lot smaller then St Patrick’s Church but still worth to visit. Don’t miss the visit where Alexander Hamilton is buried. And we visited in June 24th 2022 and they still asked for you to wear mask and were checking your vaccination records.

During a quick hop into the city, we stopped by Trinity Church and it's burial grounds.

Although the church was under renovation and closed, the grounds were accessible. Touring the grounds was like a walk through a history book.

Seeing gravestones like that of Alexander Hamilton was very interesting. Also interesting is Hamilton's gravesite in relation to Wall Street.

When hanging out in Lower Manhattan, take an hour and take a stroll.
