Trinity Church New York

Very small and very old, located at the intersection of Broadway and Wall Street...

Looking south on Broadway


...and west from Wall Street




This unusual bronze sculpture by Steven Tobin is based on the roots of an old sycamore tree that was knocked over by the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11


Behind the church is a cemetery with graves dating from the 1700s. Alexander Hamilton and Robert Fulton, among others, are buried here


And some not so famous and far more sad. This stone is for John Jones, aged 4 years, 4 months, and 2 days, who died in December of 1768
