Join The Time Traveller as he recounts his epic journey into the distant future in this adaptation of H.G. Wells’ classic novel, performed by David Neilsen.

Is his tale of Eloi, Morlocks, and a world both pristine and dangerous a figment of his imagination — or an ominous glimpse into our own dystopian future? Visit the end of civilization as we know it at this atmospheric indoor performance held in the historic Washington Irving Memorial Chapel.

Please note: this is an indoor, seated performance, not a walking tour.

Date: Friday, October 9, 2026
Times: 7:15–8:15 p.m. or 9:15–10:15 p.m. (two seatings)
Location: Washington Irving Memorial Chapel, 540 North Broadway, Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591
Ages: 12+

The Time Machine is just one stop on Sleepy Hollow Cemetery’s 2026 special-events calendar.
