Sleepy Hollow

  Riverfront  

Sleepy Hollow is a village in the town of Mount Pleasant, in Westchester County, New York. It is famously associated with Washington Irving's short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," and the village embraces this connection with numerous Halloween events, tours, and landmarks celebrating its literary heritage. Sleepy Hollow is situated on the eastern bank of the Hudson River and offers scenic views, historic sites like the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and Philipsburg Manor, and a quiet, small-town atmosphere. The village has a diverse population and a mix of residential neighborhoods, local businesses, and green spaces.
