The Legend Behind the ‘Legend’ at Washington Irving's Sunnyside

During October, Washington Irving's Sunnyside in Tarrytown celebrates its connection to Washington Irving's classic tale, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

A daytime visit here is the perfect prelude to an evening at Blaze, Horseman’s Hollow, or Irving’s ‘Legend.’ Irving’s fascinating home – a colorful blend of architectural styles – will showcase numerous objects related to Irving’s famous story. Visitors on Saturday and Sunday can enjoy a shadow puppet performance of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and experience one of Irving's spooky tales on a walk through the woods. For children, there are craft projects and the opportunity to pose with one of the giant "Legend'' cut-outs for a photo-op.

Adults, $12; Seniors, $10; Children 3-17, $6; free for children under 3 and HHV members.
