Halloween Events In Sleepy Hollow



If you are looking for some fun Halloween events in Westchester County, then Sleepy Hollow is the place for you!

Throughout the month of October, Sleepy Hollow will be offering many Halloween inspired events that honor its spooky legacy. Some of these events revolve around the legend of the Headless Horseman, and he is apparently known to show up at some of them.

One of these events is a Sleepy Hollow Cemetery tour. There will be daytime guided tours, one of them being a one-hour tour that talks about Washington Irving and his story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” and a two-hour tour where you will learn about all the people resting there. These same tours will also be offered in the evening, presumably for people who want to be scared. These tours will also keep going until Thanksgiving weekend.

Sleepy Hollow will also be offering a new haunted house this year. It takes place in a nightmarish hospital where the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will descend upon visitors. 

There will also be an acrobatic show called “The Legend Cirque.” It is described as an acrobatic version of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. 

There will also be an event that appears to be an annual favorite in Sleepy Hollow, the Haunted Hayride. It starts off normal as you ride in a hay wagon through downtown Sleepy Hollow, then it takes you down the path that Ichabod Crane took when he encountered the Headless Horseman. As you continue along the path, you start to hear shrieking and hoofbeats.

Another event they will be offering is a tour of the grounds of Washington Irving’s estate. While there, guests can go on a literature themed scavenger hunt and look at an exhibit that talks about the legacy of “Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” 

These events and many others will guarantee that Sleepy Hollow is a place you will want to be this Halloween!

As you probably all remember, I have written about several malls in New York and Connecticut, and today I am going to write about another one! Today I am going to talk about the Poughkeepsie Galleria, which is a mall that has two floors, a total of 1,100,000 square feet, and a total of 105 businesses including four anchor tenants, which makes it the largest shopping center in Dutchess County. In this blog post, I will be discussing the history of the mall and the various businesses there, in hopes that it will convince all of you reading to check it out. The mall first opened on August 1, 1987, and it featured five anchor stores, which were G. Fox & Co., Jordan Marsh, Lechmere, Filene’s, and JCPenney, all of which have since closed. Several other businesses joined the mall after moving from the next-door South Hills Mall, which were Steinbach and Sears, both of which have also since closed.  I will now go over all the business that are at the mall, and I hope any or all of them...

In this blog post, I will be writing about all the Connecticut beaches I have been to over the years in hopes that it will encourage all of you reading to go visit them. The first beach that I am going to talk about is in Milford, which is one part of the Connecticut Audubon Society Coastal Center at Milford Point. The beach itself is is 8.4 acres, provides easy access to the Long Island Sound and its many habitats, including tidal salt marshes, barrier beaches, tide pools, and coastal dunes. There are many other features here besides the beach, as 315 species of birds have been seen here, including many rarities, an osprey camera that livestreams to the entire world, and the main building there...
