Sometimes we forget about the rich history of our nation so close to home. After reading a book that took place in Tarrytown and referencing the headless horseman and the legends of Sleepy Hallow this became an educational trip to bring the story to life. The fact that the church of such a well known story can accessed so easily makes the Sleepy Hollow stories so much more realistic, because you can say for the scenes that happen in and around the church, "I've been there". My title is that the church was originally erected in 1697. There are very few standing artifacts in this country that can claim an origination date before the 1700s, so this is quite special.

~Our family and friends, a group of (25), recently had the privilege of embarking on a Private Two-Hour Walking Tour of the beautiful “Sleepy Hollow Cemetery” located in the legendary town of Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. ~Combining the best attributes of both the Daylight Walking Tour & Evening Lantern Tour, our tour guide, Christina, guided us through an intricate maze of paths, upon which we admired the stunning architecture of mausoleums and vaults, the magnificent statuary, and artisanal tombstones. Christina was extremely informative, captivating, enthusiastic and humorous. ~We witnessed a beautiful sunset, walked alongside deer and wildlife, and glimpsed the majestic beauty and serenity of this extraordinary place. Christina was truly exceptional in every respect. ~The customized tour was specifically tailored to reflect the interests of our guest of honor and highlighted many notable figures laid to rest in this peaceful place. Among those visited were Washington Irving, author of the infamous “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and William Rockefeller. A noteworthy attraction, replete with huge vintage brass key to gain entry, was the viewing of “the Receiving Vault”, especially noteworthy to Dark Shadows fans. ~The Tour was simply exceptional!
