6. Trinity Church/St. Paul’s Chapel

In “Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story,” Eliza Hamilton sings that Angelica Church is buried in Trinity Church near Alexander Hamilton.

After his inauguration as President in 1789, George Washington prayed in St. Paul’s Chapel (members of the government, including Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, regularly worshipped here while the capital was in New York City). Hamilton’s funeral procession on July 14, 1804 ended at Trinity Church, where he was eulogized by Gouverneur Morris and laid to rest.

The Trinity Church that stands today is the third iteration of the church, built in 1846.
