A visit to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. This beautiful cemetery features striking old gravestones near the historic church and enchanting 19th century monuments and tombs throughout the grounds. This church is an important part of Washington Irving's classic tale The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Considered one of America's first ghost stories, it features a headless horseman who terrorizes a hapless schoolmaster named Ichabod Crane. Believe it or not this town's school mascot IS the Headless Horseman. It is said he never misses a game.

Sleepy Hollow NY 6/30/23

Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and only child of a substantial Dutch farmer. She was a blooming lass of fresh eighteen; plump as a partridge; ripe and melting and rosy-cheeked as one of her father’s peaches, and universally famed, not merely for her beauty, but her vast expectations. She was withal a little of a coquette, as might be perceived even in her dress, which was a mixture of ancient and modern fashions, as most suited to set off her charms. —The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
