The headless horseman! #4
This place itself means a lot to me. My grandma and I growing up watched Scooby doo, which was HER favorite show. I, to this day, watch Scooby Doo frequently, all the movies and spinoffs, this girl has seen them all.
Both times we have been here, we have discovered so much. I first discovered "Sleepy Hollow" was a real village located in New York our first trip to the east coast, never wanted to go to New York until then. It is a magical little place that is by Tarrytown and let me tell you, when Mom found out it had a lighthouse, we were both crazy about going to the area.
This little town has the sweetest people and some of the best places to stick your feet in the water. Walk down to the lighthouse at the cutest park (I think it was like $10 to park and spend some time).
Downtown they have great gift shops that have the best souvenirs and tours of the town and cemetery as well. At the cemetery is where Washington Irving the author of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is buried as well. It was so nostalgic for me, they even have the Headless Horseman bridge. Bella's Boutique is a great little gift shop on main street, along with others downtown.
If you don't have a whole lot of time to kill, at least walk along the trail in the park to the lighthouse and stop at a gift shop or two.
