Sleepy Hollow

Nestled in what the Dutch called "sleeper's haven", Sleepy Hollow has enchanted everyone from ancient civilizations to curious modern tourists, from Henry Hudson to Captain Kidd, from the Rockefellers and Astors to prominent American politicians settling down in the lush hollow.

This small village has endured in our collective imagination, dating back to early indigenous tribe settlements and then 17th century Dutch colonies that birthed a legion of regional folk and ghost stories. Washington Irving harnessed the supernatural allure of "the haunted hollow" and the village‘s Revolutionary War significance and put it on the map with his celebrated 1820 short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman became household names and one of American literature's seminal works forever seeped into the zeitgeist while Sleepy Hollow is now renowned for being one of the most haunted places in the world.

Sleepy Hollow's timeless charm, beauty, and history have inspired generations of its residents to play and create within this magical realm and beyond.
