Join Sara Mascia and Tara Van Tassell of our local historical society as they share stories of intriguing residents and some of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery’s world-famous inhabitants—and let you guess who counts as good, bad, or unusual. You’ll meet locals like poet and eccentric Minna Irving, chocolatier William Wallace, and beloved neighbor “Uncle” Washington Irving, along with notables who became residents only by making Sleepy Hollow their final resting place: industrialist Andrew Carnegie, labor leader Samuel Gompers, a whole crop of Alexander Hamiltons, and many more.

Please note one date (October 18th) is a daytime tour, the rest are evening lantern tours.

Dates & Times: September 25th, 26th, October 2nd, 3rd, 16th and 18th.

Halloween season brings even more for the whole family—haunted hayrides, blazing pumpkins, costumed 10K run, Halloween parade, and of course, the Headless Horseman!
