In the early 1970's Duracell (the battery company) had its headquarters in Tarrytown on an old mansion estate, and its Northeast Distribution Center in North Tarrytown (now Sleepy Hollow). I worked in both places. At that time it was known as the Mallory Battery Company. The original Duracell batteries were all black then and didn't become today's "copper top" until 1975. In 1976 we relocated everything to Bethel, Connecticut. Thanks for the memory. 🤠
@@westchesterfirstresponse9488 Wow! If she worked at both locations I would think that the odds are pretty good that we probably knew each other. I was what they called a Sales Correspondent back then, part of the Sales Department.
@@mrmjb1960 Howdy Mike. Yep, I remember that. As a matter of fact, I had made a separate comment about that a few posts down. At its peak, GM provided North Tarrytown with almost half of its tax revenue.
A very atmospheric village, steeped in history. Interesting stories and scenery. It does have an eerie vibe. Unusual and different tour. Very seasonal! I’m really enjoying this, as always. The trees are beautiful colours. Thank you for showing us around and sharing your knowledge.
@@ActionKid This video is excelent, well done, You are a good guid! Also, I'd like to know, can you upload and version of this video, but without your voice, just to feel the atmosphere of this interesting place? Regards from southeastern Europe. Stevan.
I think everyone should decorate for the holidays its a shame that half the places in america don't want to do that people that have money don't want to be a part of the holidays are stingy with their own time
I love Tarrytown, it's a really comfy and beautiful village, you have almost everything around there. Running across the parks of sleepy hollow is one of my best memories. I use to live there when I was studying English.
just discovered this channel. My life is 70% better now that i have it in my life. I just hate how hard it is to find channels and content that will make me happy. One because there is too much of it to filter through. Two because most of the time i have no idea what i want! Who knew i would love to watch someone walk around and talk for an hour? How can the universe expect me to seek something like this out on my own? What other treasures are awaiting for me, that i won't discover for 2, 5, 10 years?!?!
This was great thank’s for posting this. They cancelled all of their Halloween events in 2020 due to Covid-19. They usually have cornucopia in early September to kick off the fall. They also have the Horseman’s Hollow Haunted house at the Phillipsburg Manor, Lyndhurst manor,m tour, haunted hay ride, a Halloween parade and you see the headless horseman riding around the cemetery. The legend of Sleepy hollow, sleepy hollow light house tour, story telling of the legend of Sleepy Hollow and day and night cemetery tours. I think they kept the cemetery tours only and the play at Sunnyside which is sold out. Thanks again it was a lot of fun watching this.
The only thing I missed was the headless horseman statue. I also would have loved to walk up past where it said Irving, that unpaved road looked very inviting.
Omg! It is awesome to see those streets once again. I once lived in the same building on the corner you walked up for years. I also went to Sleepy Hollow high school. Great seeing and hearing about the legend again. Pretty cool!
Watching this in 2023 … loving the tour thank you! Really love how you stop and appreciate the picturesque views and beauty of the town, feels like we’re there with you. Awesome, would love to go!
Aww this is so cute!! I’ve lived in Sleepy Hollow all my life and I can honestly say I do enjoy living here. This made me appreciate my little village more:) ❤️
used to attend The King's College in Briarcliff Manor, class of 71, and fell hopelessly in love with the area this cemetery the Hudson River and even Bear Mountain Memory is the only paradise no one can be turned away !!! the legends of Sleepy Hollow seem quite silly to me but the sheer history of the place captivates me
I also want to go out every day and take videos and upload them. But I can't do that because I'm busy. But I really like Seoul and the world. So I'm trying to upload videos as often as possible. I want to go to America someday! 😂😮😆🤩😙😉
what a beautiful neighborhood. wow! and i thought the name sounded familiar and Gilmore Girls has the Stars Hollow neighborhood. haha :) THank you for another amazing walk.
You are the most awesome tour guide Kenneth, always so positive and intrigued in your explorations, it feels like we are there with you, which is magical. Thank you for illuminating our lives.
Great video again. The sayings on the really old tombstones are so funny, like, " Here lies Mary, she swallowed a canary and left her family whistling a tune !" I saw a few gravestones from the late 1700's too. You can spend hours reading the sayings and looking for oldest dated ones. I wanted a tour too but couldnt get one.
From my European point of view, I am still surprised by everything that goes on around the Halloween holiday in the USA! It's a little crazy! XD But, I have to admit that I love the walks through the cemeteries, and more if they are guided tours and you learn from their history. Thanks for the video!
@@Ryan-on5on Here on November 1 is celebrated "The Day of the Dead." The night before, it is a tradition to place a candle in the window in memory of the deceased, and during the day the cemeteries are visited to bring them flowers. There are no costumes, no pumpkins, no parties... We leave the costumes for the February carnival :-)
I thought I heard the accompanying sound of side-by-side horse trotting steps towards the end of AK tour. When the sun goes down and the tourists disappear the headless horseman will certainly appear.
Very interesting tour of Sleepy Hollow. Didn't even know it was real place to go to! I love walking through old cemeteries! lots of history. Also loving all the beautiful autumn trees!
Hey thanks for putting in the work and walking around. Definitely gives a person a sense of how the sights are laid out/located. Cool place for sure and on my bucketlist.
Every year around mid to late october me and my dad go back to sleepy hollow to take in the autumn/halloween scenery. Theres really nothing like it. Salem is great but Sleepy Hollow just has that natural "autumn feel" to it. ugh cant wait to go back this year!!
Thanks for taking us along on your visit! We love Sleepy Hollow, and go a few times a year! Next time you go, take a right down Broadway to walk to the center of Tarrytown. There's some little shops, The Music Hall, a good coffee shop, and nice eateries like Horsefeathers! Also, the grounds of Lyndhurst are fun to explore, but farther away! Right before you get to the Old Dutch Church, there's a little park with a metal Headless Horseman Statue, and a gas station with a Headless Horseman blow-up that we like to take pics with!
Love my small village!But the traffic during October is crazy here. Unfortunately at lot of halloween events were canceled this year because of Covid, they usually happen on Beekman ave. (Hunted hay rides through the cemetery, haunted house, halloween parade, and many more, I see people coming in buses from other cities for the events. New Broadway has a lot of Halloween decorations because that street is closed on the 31st because so many people take their kids trick o treating on that street. Also, there's less decorations because of covid. Here when you have decorations is s sign that you will be giving out candies lol. So people will knock on your door if they see lights and decoration.
Wow! Just incredible footage and great educational info as well. Thank you 🙏🏻 This area has been home to us in the past and it was a joy to see it again. Your fun personality made this walk a treat. Great 👍 job!
Hi Actionkid, how are you? I didn't know Sleeping Hollow was in New York! I must say YOU didn't this time for real!! Thank you! Thank you Actionkid! So interesting and exciting to walk with you on this journey and again thank you! 🤗🤗👌👌👏👏💯%💯%🥰🥰
What wonderful autumn colours and a pretty village away from the touristy parts. Amazing decorations that you mostly wouldn't see here in the UK too. Those apples in the farmer's market looked delicious. I'd be lugging bagfulls away with me! Thank you for this. I'd watch again just for the beautiful trees.
It used to be known as "North Tarrytown" but in 1991 it went back to Sleepy Hollow to not get confused with Tarrytown. The Penn Central used to be the trains used.
Great little tour AK. opened up a lot of memories for me. I portrayed Ichabod Crane on a float in a parade once, in Pittsfield Ma, back in 1956!. Complete with pigtail wig. vest knee socks. and class room. So have an connection to the story there. there are many many places in Upstate Ny and surrounding areas into Berkshire Ma. Named after Ichabod Crane. Popular personality .Thanks for taking the time and sharing.
Woah, good one! Love some of the history along with your narrative. Just started watching, maybe you can get townspeople to share their haunting stories Kudos 🎃
Wow! What a great video! You really did a good job. My husband and I enjoyed it immensely. We'll definitely subscribe, and congratulations for bringing the town of Sleepy Hollow to the attention of everyone watching your RUclips channel. We grew up watching the Walt Disney version of the legend of Ichabod Crane.
I loved that story so much when I was a girl that when I was 18 I made my boyfriend take us for a road trip there from eastern Massachusetts, and he was cool about it and took me, we did it over a weekend when we didn't have to work. That was back in 1978 and it was a lot quieter back then than it is in this video, but then everywhere Is busier now. It's still a great place to visit though and of course, the book is a classic.
I was hoping you would go to Tarrytown, it’s Main Street is filled with restaurants and it’s on hill so you would be able to see the Hudson river and the new bridge looking down. On Halloween, the Main Street turns to street fair, and everybody goes out with their costumes.. So beautiful❤️
When u pass street signs angle ur camera at them slowly, so that ur viewers can know exactly where ur at if they ever decide to visit. Sometimes u mention the streets, and it’s not clear. The town is great for a weekend visit to a bed and breakfast. Many ppl like to her away for a lazy weekend. So, showing street signs give them an indication which areas they’d like to walk by as well.
Thank you for this, read the story years ago. Beautiful houses and trees, didn't realise it was so close to NY proper! I guess it was very different 150 years ago...
The eagle statues that guarded Grand Central where scattered after that station's demolition almost a hundred years ago. At the end of this video ActionKid finds one of those eagles publicly displayed at the North Tarrytown Railroad. Another of the eagles is not too far from it's original roost in the food court at Lex / 43rd Street. One on Vanderbilt Ave / 42nd Street. Now out of the city... one in Centerport at Willie Vanderbilt Jr's Eagles Nest ... two in Garrison at one time Yankee owner Jacob Ruppert's Eagles Rest ... one in Kings Point ... one in Shandaken, NY... Now, AK, hunt down the owls from the old New York Herald.
If you go all the way to the station in poughkeepsie. There is a town called Ulster Park. There is the very famous haunted attraction, headless horseman. Right in my area
Yes, they renamed North Tarrytown to Sleepy Hollow in 1996 to capitalize on the connection to the Washington Irving story. Until the mid-90's, there was an automobile factory in North Tarrytown on the banks of the Hudson River which was a major source of revenue for the local area. But then the factory shut down, and they decided to use the area's association with The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow to generate tourism revenue, especially in October. (When I first visited Sleepy Hollow about 5 or 6 years ago, I walked down Beekman Avenue toward the river, and the spot where the factory was located was still an empty lot just beyond the Metro North rail lines. More recently, a residential housing development has been built in its place.) With the exception of 2020 due to the pandemic, more and more Halloween-themed events and attractions are held in and around Sleepy Hollow with each passing year.
Forgot to mention that for close to 100 years, North Tarrytown (Sleepy Hollow) was a General Motors town. The GM plant, which produced Chevrolets (including the now classic 1957 Chevy) was down by the river. It closed in 1996 and was demolished in 1999. During the course of its existence it turned out 12 million vehicles and employed tens of thousands, providing North Tarrytown about half of its tax revenue at its peak. That road you were on was very busy with trucks bringing new cars to their destinations.
A very remarkable tour with a lot of (for me unknown) Dutch history. Wanna go there next time when I visit NYC again. Thanks AK. Ruud Mulder NYC-fan The Netherlands
Washington Irving's niece married one of Pres Van Buren's son. He and his wife grew up near the Reformed Church and attended it for the rest of their life. I live one hour West of Albany NY and have never been to Sleepy Hollow or Tarrytown NY. But know that Tarrytown is known for psychics. Guess most everyone is in that group? The bread and apples sure did look 'very good and fresh' You are right. Thank you for sharing this trip!.
Just rode the OCA trail on my gravel bike last week for the first time. Need to ride through the town next time and check out some points of interest indeed. Thanks!!!
In the early 1970's Duracell (the battery company) had its headquarters in Tarrytown on an old mansion estate, and its Northeast Distribution Center in North Tarrytown (now Sleepy Hollow).

@@westchesterfirstresponse9488 That's cool. It was a very good company to work for.
There also was the Chevrolet Plant and the Fisher Body Company side by side at the bottom of Beekman! Both are now gone,sadly.
@@mrmjb1960 Howdy Mike. Yep, I remember that. As a matter of fact, I had made a separate comment about that a few posts down. At its peak, GM provided North Tarrytown with almost half of its tax revenue.
First heard about Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod Crane and the headless horseman from a Scooby Doo mystery cartoon 😄....so happy to see the real place👍🏼
So happy you found out about is! Better late then never!
That was a great story about a updated story of it and Icabod having descendents
I live here lol
I first heard of it from kanye West my beautiful dark twisted fantasy
A very atmospheric village, steeped in history. Interesting stories and scenery. It does have an eerie vibe. Unusual and different tour. Very seasonal! I’m really enjoying this, as always. The trees are beautiful colours. Thank you for showing us around and sharing your knowledge.
Wow!they are even wearing face mask in Sleepy Hollow.
You're welcome! This place is historic and a sleepy town for sure!

@@garycarpenter6433 That’s a great idea! Everyone should decorate and keep the festive tradition going. It would be lovely.
Pretty little village...grest place to go for a day trip out of NYC :) Enjoyed the video, AK!

EF, lol best memories ever
Me too. I spent my childhood in Sleepy Hollow.
My grandparents are buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
This has been one of the best vids I have seen you do! This place is beautiful!
hey Ken, thank you for that nice walk. Sleepy Hollow is very atmospheric , it is one of those places that unfolds its full charm in autumn.
Ichabod Crane..I love that name!
I love this kind of scenery too.
Icabod... what a name.... nice just the same
Gorgeous area. My sister lives just north in briarcliff manor. Lots of historic places to visit eg Washington Irvings home, Rockefeller estate etc

hey AK my mother is buried there
So beautiful. It’s so interesting learning about history and churches and what not. Long live Sleepy Hollow. 🎃
Beautiful and fun video. Thanks, AK!
Near the cemetery, the traffic noise is obscene in a small "sleepy" village. I wonder if residents are woken at night by the noise.

I miss sleepy hallow and tarry town I wish I could go back 😭😭 I still love the place
Thanks for the upload
You should travel to nearby cities, such as Chicago, detroit or pittsburgh.
I'd surely watch those walks
He doesn’t want to get killed
Enjoyed the Sleepy Hollow trip. Keep bringing us these bomb videos
It used to be known as "North Tarrytown" but in 1991 it went back to Sleepy Hollow to not get confused with Tarrytown. The Penn Central used to be the trains used.
walking HAUNTED village good video actionkid
so beautiful and with fall colors is even more magical xD
I’m from sleepy hollow and we’d greatly appreciate it if y’all chilled with the tourism.
Great little tour AK. opened up a lot of memories for me. I portrayed Ichabod Crane on a float in a parade once, in Pittsfield Ma, back in 1956!. Complete with pigtail wig. vest knee socks. and class room. So have an connection to the story there. there are many many places in Upstate Ny and surrounding areas into Berkshire Ma. Named after Ichabod Crane. Popular personality .Thanks for taking the time and sharing.
Woah, good one!

Just rode the OCA trail on my gravel bike last week for the first time. Need to ride through the town next time and check out some points of interest indeed. Thanks!!!
This is a quant little town with a lot of history and it holds up with the ambiance
One day I hope to visit this village of Sleepy Hollow
Headed there tomorrow to check it out. Looks like a good time.
I live in Phillipse Manor on Devries! The Manor neighborhood is such a beautiful place!
