Commemorating the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, from the famous literary work by Washington Irving, the headless horseman statue is a prominent landmark in Sleepy Hollow. Visitors will find this impressive public artwork on the Route 9 median, between Philipsburg Manor and the Old Dutch Church. The 18-foot tall sculpture was designed by local artist Linda Perlmutter and built by Milgo Bufkin Metal Fabrication, using a massive 11 tons of steel. To say that it is impressive is a total understatement. The Headless Horseman Statue depicts the character Ichabod Crane fleeing for his life from the infamous headless horseman and is a popular spot for visitors to take photo souvenirs of their visit to Sleepy Hollow.

Address: 362 North Broadway, Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591
