 Herkbert Says:  Ichabod Crane sought refuge in the burying ground and met up with the Headless Horseman. For the rest of us, the Old Dutch Church and the adjoining cemetery are a historic link to the past. Many of the original townspeople were buried there before the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery... 

 Herkbert Says:  Washington Irving wanted a romantic home along the river where he could relax and write. His choice was Sunnyside. Located right along the Hudson River, this bright little house was just what he wanted. There were wonderful views over the river from many of the rooms in the... 

 haunted1030 Says:  I don't remember much about the church other than there is a great pulpit in the front and an absolutely huge pipe organ at the back. This is where we met up with the old guy that gave us the tour of the cemetery. 

 haunted1030 Says:  This cemetery is connected to the Sleepy Hollow cemetery. It really is a treasure to see. If you are lucky, one of the tour guides will be here to show you around. When we were here there was this eclectic old guy who took us around the plots and showed us the real people... 

 haunted1030 Says:  I love the darker side of life and that includes cemeteries. Patrick and Trish always raved about how cool the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery was. Patrick even tells the story of how Trish scared him by knocking on one of the crypt doors. When we went to visit Lyndhurst, Trish made... 

 moiraistyx Says:  Patrick and I stumbled across Patriot's Park during our first visit to Sleepy Hollow back in 2006. It wasn't until this last visit that we became aware of the historical significance of the park. It turns out that the park marks the spot where Major Andre, a spy, was...

 moiraistyx Says:  I did a little bit of reading about this church and became fascinated with its history. The first day I went it was not open to the public, so I had to peek through the windows to see all the wonderful woodwork inside. I tried to take a picture of it but it didn't turn out... 

 grandmaR Says:  I really wished that I had more time on the trip down from CT so that we could have gotten off the highway to see this lighthouse close-up. All I have at the moment is the pictures from the bridge. Fortunately, we were going south and I was not driving so I was able to get...

 moiraistyx Says:  The best two ways to get to Sleepy Hollow are to drive or to take the Metro North railroad. If you opt to take the railroad, be ready to do some walking or take cabs to the various points of interest. All things considered, I would advise renting a vehicle or taking your own...
