"This village in the lower Hudson Valley is famous for being the real-life setting of Washington Irving's haunting short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which was also made into a 1999 movie. In the tale, the Headless Horseman is said to appear on Halloween night, and plenty of paranormal phenomena occur. That's why the village truly comes alive during fall, when you can find Halloween parades, witchy decor, and plenty of on-theme activities."
"If you're traveling to Sleepy Hollow from New York City, it's almost too easy to get there. Simply hop on the Metro-North Railroad Hudson Line from Grand Central Station; the express train to nearby Tarrytown Station only takes about 35 minutes. There's also a local train to the village's Philipse Manor station. From there, you can walk or take a short Uber ride into the main part of town."
Sleepy Hollow, located in the lower Hudson Valley, becomes a seasonal hub for fall activities that blend historic charm with Halloween-themed entertainment. The village is the real-life setting of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and features references to the Headless Horseman and paranormal lore. Fall brings colorful foliage, apple picking, pumpkin patches, Halloween parades, witchy decor, and on-theme attractions. The village is easily accessible from New York City via the Metro-North Hudson Line—express to Tarrytown or local to Philipse Manor—or by car in roughly an hour and fifteen minutes, making it suitable for day trips or overnight stays with dining and lodging options nearby.
