Description
This historic 90-acre 19th-century cemetery invites wandering among ornate Gilded Age mausoleums, intricate tombstones, and memorials dating back to the 1700s. Visitors can explore the grounds independently or join evening lantern tours, navigating the paths by kerosene light to discover the graves of industry titans and historic figures. Among them rests Washington Irving, whose literary legacy links the grounds directly to the origins of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
