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.

War and Remembrance in Trinity Churchyard

On Monday, the nation pauses for Memorial Day, to remember the individuals who died in service of the country’s armed forces. While many veterans are interred in Trinity parish cemeteries, fewer are buried here who died while serving. General Richard Montgomery and Captain James Lawrence are two notable exceptions.
