sleepy hollow new york: Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in New York
- 10/30/16 10:07 AM
On my way to the Headless Horseman Hayride and Haunted Houses, I stopped off at the Sleep Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow NY to set the mood right. This has been listed on New York and National Register of Historic Places. The Cemetery was formally opened (as Tarrytown Cemetery) in 1849. Fun fact about who rests here. They include nationally-known individuals including Brooke and Vincent Astor, Major Edward Bowes, Andrew Carnegie, Walter Chrysler, Samuel Gompers, Oswald Villard, Thomas Watson, and, of course, Washington Irving. Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is 85 acres in size, has over 40,000 in-ground interments, and a new community mausoleum.
