Where the Legend Lives
Immortalized in Washington Irving’s famous tale, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, the real Sleepy Hollow is now a modern village that is home to a diverse population of nearly 10,000 residents. It is located 25 miles north of New York City along the eastern shore of the Hudson River, in Westchester County.
There’s something for everyone in the real Sleepy Hollow—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 5K run, Halloween parade, and of course, the Headless Horseman!
