These villages, bordering the majestic Hudson River, are rich in the charm and mystery of their shared historic past. From the area of Weckquaesgeek to the close of World War II, Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow depicts scenes of area residents' mothers, fathers, grandparents, and ancestors at work, home, school, and play. Treasured images of Revolutionary War sites, the growing villages, and stately mansions and castles bring the past of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow to life. Also vividly brought to life is the location Washington Irving made famous with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The Historical Society, Inc. -- Serving Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow has been carefully collecting and preserving these memories since 1889.
