About Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow
The Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow (Dutch: Oude Nederlandse Kerk van Sleepy Hollow), listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Dutch Reformed Church (Sleepy Hollow), is a 17th-century stone church located on Albany Post Road (U.S. Route 9) in Sleepy Hollow, New York, United States. The church and its churchyard, the Old Dutch Burying Ground, feature prominently in Washington Irving's 1820 short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The old churchyard is not to be confused, or commingled, with the contiguous but separate Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. It is the oldest extant church and one of the oldest extant buildings in the state of New York. The church was renovated after a 1837 fire, but some of those renovations were reversed 60 years later to restore the building’s original appearance; further work was done in 1960 to stabilize the building and protect its historical character.
