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.
