In late fall, when the colors where at their peak, we took a self-guided tour of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Those who know us, understand our love affair, with old cemeteries. There are untold stories and history abound in these places.
So after being in the area over a year, we decided it was high time to check put this historic, famous old cemetery.
A brief history of this Sleepy Hollow uncovers a wealth of stories. You can search and read for
yourself. I was not on a search of the history of Sleepy Hollow or the ghost of Ichabod Crane or other such notorious creatures, rather the rich history of others buried there, including all those from various wars. Here are some examples.
