Listed in the National Register of History Places and 2009, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is the final resting place of several famous people. The 85-acre cemetery first opened in 1849 and was then called the Tarrytown Cemetery.

Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is carefully tended and all the old monuments and gravestones are kept in a good state of repair, as befits the last resting place of famous people such as William Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Walter Chrysler, Elizabeth Arden, Leona Helmsley, Samuel Gompers, Brooke Astor and Washington Irving. The best way to learn all about the cemetery is to join one of their guided walking tours.
