Christ Church

Founded in 1695, Christ Church stands as one of Philadelphia’s oldest and most significant religious landmarks, nestled in the heart of Old City. This historic church was once a place of worship for Founding Fathers, including George Washington. Adjacent to the church, the Christ Church Burial Ground is the final resting place of notable figures such as Benjamin Franklin and George Ross. Today, visitors can explore the well-preserved interior and stroll through the burial ground, gaining insight into the city’s rich colonial history.
