Sleepy Hollow, NY
One of literature’s most permanent icons of Halloween is The Headless Horseman from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Visiting the real-life Sleepy Hollow, a tiny village in upstate New York, offers various diversions for bookworms and Halloween junkies alike.
There’s the Old Dutch Burying Ground, where the Headless Hessian, the inspiration behind The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’s Headless Horseman, has ridden since he met his end in the Revolutionary War.
You can even watch a live performance of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. While here, also check out the Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze, Horseman’s Hollow, Lyndhurst Castle, Philipsburg Manor, and Jay Ghoul’s House of Curiosities.
