The Good, the Bad, and the Unusual!

Join Sara Mascia and Tara Van Tassell from our local historical society as they dish about several intriguing locals as well as some of our world- famous inhabitants.  You can guess who will be good, bad, or unusual!  Among the many locals are poet and eccentric Minna Irving, chocolatier William Wallace, and popular neighbor “Uncle” Washington Irving.  They will also bring guests to visit some of the individuals who became locals by making Sleepy Hollow their final resting place, such as wealthy industrialist Andrew Carnegie, labor leader Samuel Gompers, a crop of Alexander Hamiltons, and many others.
