The church in February 2007

The Reformed Church of Tappan in Tappan, Rockland County, New York (formed, 1694) is a registered historic place.

It was used in 1780 for the trial of British Major John André, who conspired with Benedict Arnold to buy the plans for the fortifications at West Point for the British. The church was used in 1778 after the Baylor Massacre as a prison/hospital. The current building on the site dates from 1835. The building is designed according to the Federal style and was inspired by the Cedar Street Presbyterian Church in Manhattan.
