Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in NY. Author Washington Irving is buried there, and this is also the location that inspired his story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The Old Dutch Church mentioned in the story is on the cemetery grounds, and so is a replica of the bridge that the Headless Horseman rides across. Legend says the Headless Horseman tethers his horse nightly amongst the graves in this churchyard. This story has always been one of my favorites, and visiting the cemetery sparked a great amount of joy for my inner child.
