jiresellJune 6, 2017Fantastic history here. Worth a visit. Read all of the historical placards in the chapel.
Offers a great family-oriented service at 9:15 AM on Sunday mornings. Also has lots of history! Look forward to the 250th anniversary celebration in late October 2016.
IWalked Audio ToursSeptember 5, 2011Oldest NYC surviving church. Removed all pews in 2007. Statue of St. Paul Apostle above entrance said to "come alive" at night. In rear cemetery is Bell of Hope rung every 9/11. More info via our blog Read more
Must see in lower Manhattan. Don't miss the early painting of the Great Seal of the United States: the eagle looks suspiciously like a turkey. Seen on Free Tour of New York. www.sandemansnewyork.com
Ricardo Daniel LOAugust 21, 2017Beautiful. Brings lots of emotions to visit. There's a little room in memorial for victims and heroes of 9/11.- Untapped CitiesJuly 31, 2013The cemetery is the resting place of actor George Frederick Cook's headless body. Cook donated his head to science upon his death, and visitors report seeing a headless man walking around at night. Read more
- Jordan TaylorAugust 21, 2016A beautiful little chapel in the middle of busy Manhattan. Don't miss Washington's Pew.
OpheliaMarch 5, 2014The Priest stands outside on Ash Wednesday. You can get your ashes inside of the church or outside. Love it!
- J PMarch 2, 2013Where fireman from 9/11 slept in their gear on the pews. If the same pews are still here you will see scratches from their gear on the pews.
Jacob ShemkovitzAugust 31, 2013One of the few surviving colonial-era churches in city; George Washington worshipped here following his inauguration; site of informal memorials following September 11 terrorist attacks- J PMarch 2, 2013This is the only building that didn't burn when 9/11 happened. Check to see if they still sale the book 'The Little Chapel That Stood.' I bought mine here in '03.
Katherine CorsonDecember 9, 2013The pulpit in this chapel is topped with a gilded coronet, a remaining symbol of colonial rule.
Jamie SikesSeptember 29, 2014Listen to choir rehearsal and light a candle. You can even leave a written thought or prayer.
HISTORYMarch 30, 2010This is one of the few surviving colonial-era churches in NYC. George Washington, along with members of the U.S. Congress, worshipped here on his Inauguration Day, on April 30, 1789.
David CorteseJuly 3, 2012A must see landmark if touring the 9/11 site - won't take long but tremendously impactful.- Paul BurnsNovember 29, 2012Very close to the September 11 memorial but much less crowded. Perfect place to come for some quiet reflection.
Try to be present at 12:30 when the Chapel pauses to pray for peace and reconciliation as part of it's ministry in the Community of the Cross of Nails.- Stephen PirrieMarch 23, 2012Quiet place to see tributes to the rescuers and where they laid their wads after long shifts.
The Cemetery is a great place to eat lunch on a nice day.
Fluying ✅October 11, 2014Construida en 1766 es la iglesia mas antigua de la ciudad y aquí rezaba Washington. En el 9/11, a pesar de estar en frente del WTC, no sufrió ningún daño.Buen lugar pa' sentarse un rato y usar el baño- ElisaMarch 28, 2014A pasos del World Trade Center, tan antigua y perfectamente conservada. No registra daños
