A Legendary Starting Point

Fun fact: Patriots Park, where the parade begins, was once the historic location of Wiley’s Swamp — the spot in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” where Ichabod Crane first encounters the Headless Horseman.

In the dark shadow of the grove, on the margin of the brook, [Ichabod] beheld something huge, misshapen and towering. It stirred not, but seemed gathered up in the gloom, like some gigantic monster ready to spring upon the traveler… He appeared to be a horseman of large dimensions, and mounted on a black horse of powerful frame. — The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
