2022 Evening Lantern Tours

• Evening Lantern Tour. Soak up the history of this famous cemetery by the light of kerosene lanterns! It’s like stepping back in time as you visit some of the most impressive residents, including William Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, John Dustin Archbold and others resting in peace in the north end. As this is only a one-hour tour, you’ll need to visit during the day to see Washington Irving’s grave.

Dates: Saturday nights through August. Start time varies depending on sunset. Fall dates will be added later in the summer.

Murder & Mayhem

Looking to hear some darker - but all true! - stories?

Meet fallen angels and helpless victims on this TWO-HOUR walking tour through Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.  Join us as we visit by lantern light the flamboyant businesswoman branded “the wickedest woman in New York,” a debonair counterfeiter, the scene of a grave robbery, victims of “the Mad Murderer of Sleepy Hollow,” a brotherly murder-suicide, and the celebrated opera singer who was alleged to have assaulted, extorted, and killed various of her seven husbands, and more. Subject matter is not suitable for children under 18.  For the enjoyment of all tour goers, please respect this policy.

The Good, the Bad and the Unusual!

Join Sara Mascia and Tara Van Tassell from our local historical society as they dish about several intriguing locals as well as some of our world- famous inhabitants. You can guess who will be good, bad, or unusual! Among the many locals are poet and eccentric Minna Irving, chocolatier William Wallace, and popular neighbor “Uncle” Washington Irving. They will also bring guests to visit some of the individuals who became locals by making Sleepy Hollow their final resting place, such as wealthy industrialist Andrew Carnegie, labor leader Samuel Gompers, a crop of Alexander Hamiltons, and many others all by the light of kerosene lanterns.

Dates: to be announced.
