St. Paul’s Church National Historic Site

David Osborn will discuss the St. Paul’s Church national historic site, where he is the site manager.
This 8th-century church, located at 897 South Columbus Avenue in Mount Vernon, is one of
New York’s oldest parishes (1665 — 1980). It was used as a hospital following the important
Revolutionary War Battle at Pell’s Point in I776,and was the scene of various military
developments for the next six years.The church stood at the edge of Eastchester village green,
the site of the “Great Election” (1733), which raised the issues of freedom of religion and press.
The adjoining cemetery contains burials dating from 1704.
Light refreshments will be served.
