St Paul's Chapel - New York City - 9/11 Memorial Sites on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
St Paul's Chapel of the Trinity Parish is the oldest church in Manhattan. The cornerstone was laid in 1764, George Washington worshiped there and after his inauguration, both houses of Congress joined him for a service at St Paul's.

The modern history is grimmer as St Paul's cemetery is on Church Street directly across from where the twin towers fell covering St Paul's with debris. The church took on an eight month task of caring for the workers. Feeding them, counseling them, setting up cots in the sanctuary for them to sleep on and just taking care of them.

Now there is a very touching memorial in the sanctuary keeping the remembrance of those dark days alive. Some things were left by the workers and some were memorials put on the fence around the cemetery.
