- 1 Event Space
Embedded with Mythology In the midst of one of the spacious coves that indent the eastern shore of the Hudson, at the broad expansion of the river known to the ancient Dutch navigators as the Tappan Zee, and where they always prudently shortened sail and implored the protection of St. Nicholas when they crossed, there lies a small market-town or rural port, which is sometimes referred to as Greensburgh, but which is more commonly and properly known by the name of Tarry Town." "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," written by Washington Irving and first published in 1820, is a classic American folk tale. Atop a hill above Sunnyside, the famed author's home in Tarrytown, the Tarrytown House Estate offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area, which is rich in history and folklore. Other attractions in "Sleepy Hollow Country" include Kykuit, the Rockefeller family estate in Pocantico Hills; Lyndhurst, the former residence of financier Jay Gould; and Philipsburg Manor, a colonial farm.
