Sleepy Hollow Cemetery
Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is the resting place of numerous famous figures, including Washington Irving, whose story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is set in the adjacent Old Dutch Burying Ground. Irving's grave overlooks the setting of his best known story. The cemetery is located in the community formerly known as North Tarrytown, New York, which changed its name in 1997 to Sleepy Hollow, New York. Incorporated in 1849 as Tarrytown Cemetery, it posthumously honored Irving's request that it change its name to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
