Take A Guided Night Tour On Halloween
Most American’s have heard the story of Sleepy Hollow and Ichabod Crane! But not many know that the town of Sleepy Hollow actually exists and is right by Tarrytown! In fact, Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown have joined ranks to create the Halloween capital of New York.
During the Halloween season, visitors can take a guided night tour of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetary, can purchase tickets to the Horseman’s Hollow Trail, or check out the Blaze at the Van Cortlandt Manor which showcases thousands of lit jack-o-lanterns! The best part is the Halloween parade that is always held on the Sunday before Halloween day!
Visit The Tarrytown Music Hall
Go See The Tarrytown Lighthouse
Sitting on the eastern side of the Hudson River, the Tarrytown Lighthouse is a historical cast-iron structure that has helped guide boats on the river.
Visit The Tappen Zee Bridge
The Tappen Zee Bridge is just plain neat (for those of us who don’t speak in architectural terms)! The bridge offers amazing views of the Hudson River. At sunset, the bridge offers a beautiful picture for those who are interested in photography.
