A Symbol of Survival and Hope

Built in 1764 St. Paul's Chapel is the oldest standing church in Manhattan. It is a building that has survived bombings and fires, and has been a place of worship and rest for presidents and heroes. On the day he was inaugurated president, George Washington attended this tiny chapel. More than two hundred years later in 2001, St. Pauls played host to relief workers as a place of shelter and rest after the September 11^th terrorist attacks.

When you walk outdoors you can view the stone monuments in the small graveyard in front of the church – many date back to before America was formed as a nation.  This Manhattan historical sites is open to visitors from 10am - 6pm on weekdays, 10am - 4pm on Saturday, and 7am - 9pm Sunday.
