Trinity Church, New York City

It is still under renovations but go access what you may. Trinity Church in downtown Manhattan is an absolute must see, once the renovations are finished. It is rich in architectural history. This is historic New York at its best. The grave sites here go back to the 1700s, which in itself is amazing. Located on Broadway right near Wall Street, behind Liberty Park, this church somehow was saved from the tragedy of 911 and it was right next to it. It was as if God would not let anything happen to the church and the people buried there. I've been to this church several times and the inside of it is absolutely beautiful. It is a small cathedral that basically explains how important religion was at that time in NYC. I've even had the chance to light a candle there. It is very peaceful and tranquil and a reminder to all that visit, that regardless of the noise of the buildings around it, and the tragedy that once loomed, there is still a sanctuary that was untouched during the 911 mishap. Make sure you visit this Church.

One of my daughters is a massive Hamilton musical fan, so she was delighted to unexpectedly visit the church graves & see Alexander, Philip & Eliza’s graves. We searched for Angelica’s but unfortunately couldn’t find it. This was a NY trip highlight for her and made up for not winning the Hamilton lottery. The church was closed, but it is a beautiful building & you can get a lovely view of part of it from Wall Street which is just opposite.
