The Legend of Seepy Hollow and Local Lore

Set off on a lamplit pathway to our Rockwood Hall Foundation site. Overlooking the Hudson River with views of the bridge and Manhattan downstream, you will be immersed into old Sleepy Hollow, where there is more lore than our Horseman legend. Learn of the lesser-known lore that occurred right here in Rockefeller State Park Preserve before delving into Washington Irving's seminal work, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The iconic short story was inspired by real locations in the area that exist today. You will be surprised how truly close to the tale you get! You will finish the night chilled by a brush with the Headless Horseman himself. Will you survive to tell the tale?
