Where the Legend Lives
Spend a delightful afternoon with British officer and spy Major John Andre, who will speak about his infamous life and death during the American Revolution. Major Andre will discuss his interactions with the traitorous Benedict Arnold as well as his career in the British Army. In true British fashion, tea and cookies will be served to all guests. Author and actor David Neilsen brings the infamous spy back to life just in time to celebrate the 243rd anniversary of his Capture here in our community by three honest militiamen.
Seating is limited, advance reservations are required. Registration will open on August 1, 2023.
Washington Irving, author of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” followed the Rev. Dr. William Creighton to this church from Zion Episcopal in Dobbs Ferry. Irving was a vestryman, warden, Sunday School teacher, and regular parishioner at Christ Church until his death in 1859. The ivy on the church walls is from cuttings taken at Irving’s home, Sunnyside, and his pew is still marked in the front of the sanctuary.
There’s something for everyone in Sleepy Hollow Country—farmers markets, live music, street fairs, historic homes, hiking trails, kayaking and boating on the Hudson River. Halloween season brings even more for the whole family—haunted hayrides, blazing pumpkins, costumed 10K run, Halloween parade, and of course, the Headless Horseman!
