Saint Paul's Church National Historic Site
Since 1665, Saint Paul's Church played a vital role in the colonial life of Eastchester, 20 miles north of New York City. Townspeople voted at the nearby Village Green; local militia drilled outside its doors. But the American Revolution changed everything. American, British and Hessian troops tore down the old wooden meetinghouse for firewood and used the unfinished stone chapel as a hospital.

The development of colonial society and the road to the American Revolution St. Paul’s Church N.H.S. consist of an 18th century stone church that was used by both sides as a hospital during the American Revolution, an adjoining five-acre cemetery that is among America’s oldest, continuously used burial yards, and a museum with exhibitions about local and national history. Located at the center of the colonial town of Eastchester, the site was the scene of the landmark 1733 election, which raised in unprecedented and historically significant ways issues of Freedom or Religion and of the the Press.
