FREE Halloween Is Happening Night at Trinity Church Friday

Home to the ghosts of famous old people like Alexander Hamilton, John Jacob Astor, and Eliza Jumel–a prostitute who later became the richest woman in America and wife to Aaron Burr in a colonial-style “Pretty Woman”–The Trinity Church has been a resting place for our city’s finest since 1687 and
