In January the church is closed on Monday and Tuesday.

This is an excellent way to learn about this early period of American history and become more familiar with the lives of the American colonists.

"Historical Tranquility"
After crowds and noisy streets, this is a welcome spot to sit and reflect about our country's history while sitting in pews previously occupied by our nation's founders. An important historical landmark and welcome escape. You can even attend the weekly service.

"Fun with the Family"
At Christ Church you can find the pews formerly occupied by George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, and other characters out of your history books.
Kids will be interested to learn that this is also the birthplace of a character from a chidren’s book: Amos, the mouse who befriended Ben Franklin in the classic Ben and Me.
“The Nation’s Church” is now celebrating 300 years as an active Episcopal parish, with Sunday morning services at 9:00 and 11:00 and communion services on Wednesday at noon. All are welcome to attend.

"peaceful bliss amidst history"
A wonderful church to rest and be peaceful in. The near views out the windows are stupendous when the trees are full of leaves. Founded in 1695, it's still an active parish today. A number of famous people have worshipped here, including Benjamin Franklin, William Penn, Betsy Ross, and George Washington.
