St. Paul's Chapel

Religious Sites, Lower Manhattan

User Rating: ***** 5.0

Fodor's Review:

For more than a year after the World Trade Center attacks, the chapel's fence served as a shrine for visitors seeking solace. People from around the world left tokens of grief and support, or signed one of the large drop cloths that hung from the fence. After having served as a 24-hour refuge where rescue and recovery workers could eat, pray, rest, and receive counseling, the chapel, which amazingly suffered no damage, reopened to the public in fall 2002 with an ongoing exhibit titled "Unwavering Spirit: Hope & Healing at Ground Zero," honoring the workers and recalling their efforts in the months following September 11. Open since 1766, St. Paul's is the oldest public building in continuous use in Manhattan.
