Stone church and burying ground made famous by Washington Irving's Legend of Sleepy Hollow; among the oldest church buildings in New York.
History & lore
Built in the late 17th century for the Dutch Reformed congregation of the Tarrytowns, the Old Dutch Church and its burying ground are the setting Irving used for Ichabod Crane's flight from the Headless Horseman. The burying ground is generally open to respectful daytime visitors; the church interior has limited public access tied to services and special events. Tourism pages for Sleepy Hollow treat the site as a primary legend landmark rather than a paid haunted attraction.
