The church is just simple beautiful so if you're happen to be down in the the financial district, stop by and check it out. read more

We noticed this beautiful church and neighboring cemetery as we strolled around the Wall Street area. Intricate stonework, elaborate ironwork, and surrounding manicured grounds were a nice surprise in this city setting. Would love to return in the future and explore further to discern more about the history of the property. read more

Trinity Church is one of New York's oldest and most historical buildings. Having been built before even the Revolutionary War, the land has been visited by countless individuals and still today recognizes just how significant many of those individuals were. Circling the church on all but one side is a graveyard covered in headstones, statues and monuments. Many politicians, war heroes, and businessmen are buried in Trinity Churchyard. It's one of the most famous churchyards in all of New York. The graveyard's occupants, by the way, include Alexander Hamilton, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, Angelica Schuyler Church, Philip Hamilton, William Bradford, Franklin Wharton, Robert Fulton, Captain James Lawrence, William Alexander, Lord Stirling and Albert Gallatin. Alexander Hamilton and his wife Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton are perhaps Trinity Churchyard's most notable occupants. But it is important to highlight the fact that the Hamiltons are joined by many other notable individuals whose lives help tell the stories of Trinity's distant past. read more

Located in lower Manhattan near the New York Stock Exchange, Trinity Church Cemetery was founded in 1697 Not to be confused with two other Trinity Churches, this cemetery holds the remains of Robert Fulton (steamboat), Albert Gallatin (Sec. of the Treasury & President of New York University) but more notably the final resting place of ALEXANDER HAMILTON, his wife Elizabeth Schuyler and her sister Angelica Schuyler. He is buried near the South fence of the Cemetery. I have also included photos of The "Dueling Grounds" in Weehawken, N.j. where Hamilton was fatally shot by Aaron Burr (Vice President) above the right hip. There is a monument at the Weehawken site right above the "Dueling Grounds" and the rock he rested upon before he was ferried to New York City where he died a day later. read more

It is a a popular landmark for tourists to visit. read more

A cemetery that is located or part of Trinity Church. It is surrounded by buildings in the busy Financial District area. It is free to walk around the cemetery. The cemetery has a statue of Alexander Hamilton and is where he is resting. Many tourists come here to take photos. I would say this is one of the landmark of NYC. read more

We have been near or went by this cemetery many times since we've been to NYC. Until recently we stopped to see Alexander Hamilton's grave. Which was a surprise that Albert Gallatin is located here as well. Albert Gallatin is huge to me because of the local area I was raised and grew up in. Albert Gallatin is the name of the school district that I graduated High School from. In addition to that name carrying many areas with the name of Albert Gallatin something. It was nice to see where he's laid to rest The grounds are amazing. They have "secret service" almost like, security in black suites guarding the area during the day. read more

I must say when I was in college in a small town the cemetery was a favorite place to hang out. It was green with trees and a lot of history. When my daughter and I went to Paris we visited several cemeteries. They are truly beautiful there. Maybe it's the location of this cemetery or this stage of my life, but I went because of my visitor. I knew the type of things she may enjoy. She specifically requested a visit to the World Trade Center and surrounding area. If you visit this cemetery also visit the St. Paul's Chapel. There is an entrance from the cemetery into the Chapel. We were lucky it was open the day we visited. This church cemetery and Chapel are old, old. Read inscriptions. I find it interesting and spooky at the same time. It's a small cemetery so it won't take long to visit. Everyone enjoys seeing and doing different things when they visit NYC. People ask me all the time what do I recommend. I recommend you do the things that interest YOU! Churches, cemeteries, museums, cabarets, theater, whatever your bag is, do it! And I highly recommend searching YELP. My NYC Yelp Friends can be trusted. Do your research and if you go to a cemetery go to visit, not to stay. read more

Funny you can do a review for a cemetery. Of course Trinity Church is not an ordinary cemetery. This is the resting side for famous people like Alexander Hamilton. A few other founding fathers have graves. The church is still functioning so you have to be respectful of that. It would help to know the layout first. If you're going the first time and don't know where graves are, you can have a hard time finding a few. There are gravestones on the north and south sides of the church, so be sure to look at both sides. Hamilton's is on the south side of the church. He has a large and pointy white gravestone. Just look for the crowd and you will find it. It's along the iron fence. There are tour guides that will tell you stories you probably already have heard about, especially if you have seen the musical, which has made this a very popular site. Just be respectful when going. It's still an active church. The clergy will gladly answer questions about gravesites. read more

During my Pace University days and post- Pace University employment in Financial District I occasionally came to Trinity Church Cemetery in search for hope, stillness, solitude and peace. This cemetery is located in the church yard of St. Paul's Chapel. Here lies "Bell Of Hope" a gift from London, England. Notable burials are: Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804), American revolutionary patriot and "founding father"; first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Francis Lewis (1713-1802), signer of the Declaration of Independence Albeit this cemetery is small but it does bear significance as built in 1766, the oldest surviving church building in Manhattan existing since colonial NYC during the American Revolutionary War. Trinity Church Cemetery is not very elaborate or lavish with ornate headstones nor contain elaborate mausoleum as the ones I've visited in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France but it is still worthy to visit for a time to honor and respect. Many headstones are eroded due to prolong exposure to rain, snow, air pollution, dilapidated, and as the writing are not visible, many chipped forgotten which is very sad as the plot becomes an unknown individual. If you like U.S. history you would appreciate this visit. read more

This is a beautiful cemetery and very well-kept. It is full of historical names and it's very inspiring and emotional to go look at. We were on our way to see Hamilton on Broadway and stopped here to see his grave. There were some construction going on and we were in allowed to go into the cemetery but it was nice to be able to see the headstones from the street. read more

Most people come for the older "inhabitants"--most famously Alexander Hamilton, but you can also find signers of the Declaration of Independence, members of the Continental Congress and other historical figures like Robert Fulton (inventor of the steamboat). Located smack dab in the middle of downtown Manhattan, right on Broadway & close to Wall Street, if you're in the area, it's worth a visit, even though there is a lack of information available for visitors & no map exists of who is buried where, which is a big disappointment. read more

How can anyone possibly adequately review a cemetery with such historical significance?! Trinity Church Cemetery is where Alexander Hamilton and his wife (possibly his son Phillip) are laid to rest alongside many historical figures in our country's history. At the time we visited, the cemetery was closed for renovation and so was the church but we were able to look through the fence and see Alexander Hamilton's site and many other headstones dating back to the Revolutionary War. Trinity Church is also near Ground Zero and has historical significance being impacted by the 9/11 tragedy. Definitely a memorable experience and worth a visit. read more

*** FYI, they are currently doing renovations in the cemetery and on Trinity Church itself so the vibes are a bit different with workers and construction. This cemetery is beautiful in that it's a patch of green in Wall Street and for the incredible architecture, monuments/statues, and history. If you have even a semblance of appreciation for history, enjoyment of sculpture, or respect for the dead, make Trinity Church Cemetery a stop while you're down south. We really enjoyed the different iterations of the English language on gravestones throughout the years here ("Here lies" vs. "Here lyes"). If you have time to stop and read through all of them, you may feel a connection to humankind as many experience in cemeteries, especially older ones. Alexander and Eliza Hamilton's graves are covered in pennies, which I'm guessing is a way to show respect for his creation of the national bank? If you are so inclined, don't forget yours at home! PROS: Beautiful statues. Interesting gravestones. Monuments are gorgeous. Greenery and benches to relax. Alexander/Eliza Hamilton's tombs are a treat to visit. The historical significance of these graves is powerful. CONS: You can't walk out expect through the front gate so if you're visiting both sides you'll need to walk around the back of the church to leave at the moment. read more

I'm so glad this important historical place is open to the public. I'll admit, I went to see the grave of Alexander Hamilton thanks to my newfound Broadway musical-inspired interest in him. I was pleasantly surprised, though I probably shouldn't have been, to see that other visitors have sort of enshrined the tomb with gifts of flowers, American flags, pennies, and notes. If you're not interested in Alexander Hamilton specifically, this cemetery is still worth a visit if you find yourself nearby. It's VERY neat to see the headstones and markers from 250 year old graves, many of which are still very legible. There are some other historical notables interred there too. Check it out sometime! read more

Visiting this cemetery was a humbling experience, paying respect to amazing figures of history including Alexander Hamilton whom is buried here. It's heartbreaking to see the state of some of the tombstones, some are worn down by the exposure to rain over the centuries, others are crumbling, and one tomb the cover was cracked and exposed the chamber. I don't wish to change things, but I wish there were repairs and replacement for some of the graves and tombstones. read more

A hauntingly beautiful oasis in a sea of skyscrapers. It is both somber and meditative. The tombstones are historically aged.

Alexander Hamilton's monument is currently under renovation. Hamilton's wife Eliza who was nearly 100 when she died is buried next to her husband and your u can see her tomb stone as well as their son's. read more

There is so much history in this cemetery. Of course the big draw is Alexander Hamilton and his grave is worth seeing a paying respect to a true American Patriot and a key founding Father. Plenty of other founding fathers interred here as well. read more

A stone's throw from the WTC PATH Station, this quiet oasis is certainly worth a quick stop. Opened in 1697 (although the oldest tombstone dates to 1681), this shady grove is the final resting place for many notable figures in American history. Alexander Hamilton, Robert Fulton and numerous signers of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are each buried here. After this location was filled, a second cemetery was opened in Harlem. So much to see in such a small and well-kept space! read more
