![]() ![]() It is the grave of Elizabeth Hamilton (nee Schuyler), the wife of Alexander Hamilton and the woman who worked for 50 years after his death to insure his legacy was not forgotten as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and others would have preferred. The grave placed right in front of his deserves just as much recognition. We couldn’t find Alexander Hamilton’s tomb so we headed around to the other side and immediately laid eyes on his marble memorial. The most prominent people buried there have additional signs denoting who the were and what they did. We then headed into the graveyard on the north side and meandered through the rows of centuries-old tombstones. Only a few people were scattered in the pews. The church is simple and elegant with a high chapel ceiling and blue stained glass windows. ![]() The Hamilton family practiced their faith at Trinity and Alexander, his wife Elizabeth and her sister Angelica Church are all interred in the cemetery. We conversed for a few minutes about Karina’s Broncos hat and their potential to win it all *eye roll* and after he tried convincing us to move to New York after college (I’m sold, Karina is not) we moved along down Broadway street.Ībout 5 minutes into our walk we came upon Trinity church and although we weren’t supposed to be there until early afternoon we decided to head inside anyway. ![]() The memorial reflecting pools were beautiful in their simplicity and we took a moment to let the magnitude of what happened here sink in.Īs we were leaving the memorial grounds we were stopped by a security guard who wanted to see who wanted to judge who was taller between myself and him. ![]()
