Visit & History

Before the first bell rang on Wall Street, before the Statue of Liberty stood watch over New York Harbor, before Alexander Hamilton wrote his way to revolution, Trinity Church was established at the heart of a burgeoning city — and nation. More than three centuries later, we’re still serving our parish. Visit us to explore our past and present.
