These villages, bordering the majestic Hudson River, are rich in the charm and mystery of their shared historic past. From the era of Weckquaesgeek to the close of World War II, Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow depicts scenes of area residents' mothers, fathers, grandparents, and ancestors at work, home, school, and play.

Also vividly brought to life is the location Washington Irving made famous with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
