We didn't go inside as they were doing renovations on the outside and they were not letting people inside. Outside though was a nice area to walk around and look at some very old head stones and take pictures.

I had a knot in my throat as I was walking through the Chapel. All those helping hands, those wounderful people...... I think every person must have his own feelings and expressions after being in that Chapel. For me it left a mark for life.

This little church was where 9/11 rescuers went for some solace. The letters and tributes contained within will melt your heart. It really brings home the scale of the tragedy. I read one letter from an emergency operator and couldn't help but cry. It was overwhelming.

The area down by WTC is crazy-busy. St. Paul's Chapel has some nice photos and discussion of 09/11, but it's packed with people, and the area as a whole is to be avoided.

We stumbled upon this church/museum by accident. once inside we stayed until we had read what was written at each display. If you are planning a visit to ground zero this is a must see.

This Chapel was used by George Washington, and his pew is still there. It's historic, tranquil and moving. Be aware that it is still a functional place of worship and not a tourist trap, so you will encounter actual services going on. It's close to the site of the rapidly rising buildings on the World Trade Center site. It's free... More
