For this walk, we start off at the northern most part of the cemetery at Walter Chrysler's mausoleum. He was the founder of The Chrysler Corporation and commissioned the famous Chrysler Building on 42nd Street in New York City.
Next, we venture through the rest of the mausoleum section to William Rockefeller's huge mausoleum. He was a prominent member of the Rockefeller family and New York head of the Standard Oil Company in the 1920s.
We continue on and transition to the more typical graveyard design, stopping at the final resting place of Washington Irving who was the author of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle". The ghost of the World Famous Headless Horsemen supposedly has his nightly ride through the cemetery every night.
Finally we walk down to the southern most part and oldest section of the cemetery where the Old Dutch Church and tombs from the 1700s reside.

WONDERFUL VIDEO. 😊

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Thank you very much sir, always appreciated!

[@harrysees3790]

Having been to the “hollow” recently, this gets the look/mood of “sleepy hollow”.

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Thank you very much Harry! It’s such an amazing cemetery, isn’t it?

[@titicoqui]

a masterpiece

[@HolyEarth808]

💞L20💞this is super cool. Thank you for sharing my friend! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

You're veryp welcome, thank you back and thank you so much for your support!

[@sosalpha]

Ever take notice how the bridge isn't at all what movies portray? It's opened vs closed. Beautiful cemetery and lovely small town.

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Haha yes, that and the cemetery in the movies isn't actually the real cemetery either.

[@tonisargent4695]

thank you for sharing

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@beth_winegarner]

Thanks for this. I have several ancestors buried in the Old Dutch Church section. Although you didn't get close up with any of their graves it's nice to get a feel for the place.

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Oh cool! I know the old dutch section very well. It's such a beautiful cemetery and I have visited it a countless amount of times. It sounds like you have never been there before and if so, I hope you can check it out one day; you can easily spend an entire day there. Cheers!

[@HDWalkingAdventures]

Really nice ambiace with green sorroundings 👍

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Thank you very much HD Walking Adventure!

[@HappyHauntings]

Thank You so much for sharing this. We love this cemetery and lived very close to it . We recently moved an hour away but still have family there. We try to go around the fall when the leaves are changing. It’s so beautiful and foreboding at the same time. Since I can’t visit it as frequent as we want to this will give me my fix. Thanks again!

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

You're very welcome and we love this cemetery too!! My gf and I go up there from NYC a couple times a month. Thanks for stopping by the channel and for watching!

[@HappyHauntings]

@@DiscoverHudsonValley that’s awesome! I’ve lived in Westchester County my whole life. From where we lived it was 15 min to get to Sleepy Hollow. My Mother in law works down the street from the cemetery. This tale has been my childhood favorite since they let us watch it around Halloween in the late 70s. Disney’s version of course. It’s a great town with that all year around Halloween feel! Thanks again! Be safe and healthy!🙏🏼❤️

Wonderful!✨✨

[@ernieragogini3994]

Thank you for the walking tour of the SH cemetery. The videos I have seen heretofore focused on the tourist traps and I scrapped SH visit from my bucket list. What I would have liked is some history……..the scope of the cemetery, its “inhabitants” (assume many were wealthy given the elaborate mausoleums. Nonetheless , good job. Not interested in the town though. Seems to have been largely infiltrated by tourists and those whose living depends on them. Am interested in the physical scope of the cemetery because the village is not very large, yet the population of the dear departed covers a significant area. Thanks.

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Thank you very much for the thoughtful comment. Yes many of the cemeteries’s inhabitants wee wealthy including several Rockefellers, Chrysler and Helmsley. I agree with you that the town doesn’t have much to offer. Although there is a great restaurant called Horse Feathers 5 mins away from the cemetery in Tarrytown that my gf and I drive up to all of time for weekend brunch. So good. If SH isn’t on your bucket list, I definitely think that you should add the cemetery to it. It’s huge and wonderful place to walk around for a day. Thanks for your comment again and for stopping by the channel!

[@JustAroundTrip]

Nice walking tour, the scenery so natural

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Thank you and glad that you liked it!

[@tsf5-productions]

Was this videoed with a GoPro camera ? If so, I've got one with many accessories to carry it with plus the "media mod" of theirs. Great steady shooting...grand time for viewing a famous cemetery almost all by yourself. So much history from the burials that are there. The weather: overcast yet mild...just right. And all along I thought (actually, still do) that my all-time favorite cemetery I've seen is Crown Hill in Indianapolis. I need to look into this Sleepy Hallow.

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Hi Tom! I actually shot this with the DJI Pocket 2. It’s an amazing little camera. Cool on the GoPro and it sounds like you have great setup for it. Yeah I highly recommend going to the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery if you can. It’s a beautiful cemetery with a bunch of historical figures buried there. I have never heard of Crown Hill before but I will look it up online. Thanks for watching the video and for the thoughtful comment. Cheers.

[@luskimo1]

glad to see you didn't follow the handout map thats provided for the famous graves

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Haha yeah I’ve seen that handout before. Thanks!

[@MickeyJWind]

did you go to the Natural Burial section?

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

I have walked the majority of the cemetery many times but I do not know where that area is specifically and haven’t ever heard about it until now. What area is it in? Thank you for the comment and I apologize for my delayed response to you!

[@user-of9lz6sz8z]

Henry David Thoreau is buried there.

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I have been to this cemetery a countless amount of times and for some reason missed that one.

[@user-of9lz6sz8z]

U NEED TRO TALK...IT WOULD BE NICE...

[@DiscoverHudsonValley]

Trust me, I have heavily considered doing so, but I hate the sound of my own voice and I feel that it is also nice for the viewer to experience the walk as if they are doing it themselves. Sometimes someone constantly talking during videos like these can become annoying.
