Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:
Sleepy Hollow was once the preserve of the rich and famous Rockefeller family. Today visitors come here mainly to take a step back in time and learn about the life and times of the oil-rich Rockefeller family and earlier colonial settlers like Frederick Philipse who made his fortune in the slave trade. Attractions are mainly historic – you can visit the John D. Rockefeller Estate, the Philipsburg Manor, the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and the Old Dutch Reform Church and Burial Ground. Myths and legends abound and you are sure to hear about a ghost or two. For a break from history you can go hiking in the beautiful Rockwood Hall State Park to admire outstanding views of the Hudson River.
