Christ Church

Anglican church built 1744 where George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, and other founders worshipped. Washington's pew (No. 56) and Franklin's pew (No. 70) are marked. The church served both sides during the British occupation of 1777–78. Its burial ground two blocks away contains the graves of Benjamin Franklin and four other signers of the Declaration of Independence. Among the finest examples of Georgian ecclesiastical architecture in North America.
