The marshy area where Ichabod Crane first encountered the headless horseman has long since been drained, but its stream still flows through a park half in the village of Tarrytown and half in the village of Sleepy Hollow (Tarrytown owns and administers the whole park). A monument marks the spot where, on September 23, 1780, three local militiamen captured British spy John André, exposing American general Benedict Arnold’s treasonous plan to turn over the fortifications at West Point to the British. Tarrytown’s and Sleepy Hollow’s weekly farmers market meets here in season.
