Are you ready to be transported to a world of imagination, charm, and literary magic? Then step into Sunnyside, the beautifully preserved 19th-century home of Washington Irving, America’s first internationally acclaimed author and the creator of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle!

Located along the tranquil shores of the Hudson River in Tarrytown, New York, this storybook home is a masterpiece of architecture, blending Dutch Colonial, Spanish, and English design—much like the whimsical blend of cultures in Irving’s tales. Wander through the rooms filled with period furniture, personal artifacts, and even the author’s writing desk.
