Overview
Picturesque Tarrytown, meaning Wheat Town in Dutch, was founded around 1650 by Dutch settlers and is nestled within the wooded hills above the banks of the mighty Hudson River. It's most dominating landmark is the Tappan Zee Bridge which connects the New York Thruway between Tarrytown and Nyack. The Village of Tarrytown blends the quaint charm of a historic river village with the hustle and bustle of a popular downtown area complete with thriving retail businesses, varied dining opportunities and interesting antique stores. Few Hudson Valley regions offer the variety of hotels, shops and restaurants that Tarrytown possesses. Furthermore there are also a number of very beautiful historic sites to see, such as the Gothic Revival Mansion Lyndhurst, Washington Irving's Sunnyside and Castle On The Hudson, modeled on an old English Fortress, as well as another really entertaining one, the unique Tarrytown Music Hall. This village also has several business parks with large corporations, including General Foods, Hitachi, Dannon, IBM and Siemens, as tenants. Serviced by Metro North, the roughly 25 miles to Grand Central Station in New York City can be covered within 35 minutes via express service. There are also a number of well maintained major highways allowing for timely travel by car and bus to any point within the Tri State area. For all these reasons Tarrytown is one of the most accessible and appealing river towns in Westchester.
