Program Description

Event Details

Get into the "post" Halloween groove with a walk and talk through the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York!

Learn about the "original" knickerbocker, father of the American short story, Washington Irving, and his famous short story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."  Discover his impact on American literature and the enduring appeal of the tale, which recently celebrated its Bicentennial. Best of all, you'll find out why Irving is called the "Original Knickerbocker"!

This tour is one hour long.  Please be aware that the walk includes a steep hill, some stairs and grassy, unpaved gravel roads. There is no place to sit down during the tour. 

Location:  Sleepy Hollow Cemetery South Gate, 430 North Broadway, Sleepy Hollow, New York.

Parking:  There is plenty of free parking inside the gate.

This tour is rain or shine, excluding severe weather. If you sign up, but realize you cannot attend, please let us know as soon as possible.
