But beyond the village’s famous heritage, it stands today as a diverse and vibrant community of about 10,000 residents. With roots as an agricultural district, and later as a manufacturing center, this bucolic community has managed to preserve much of its natural beauty. For decades, Sleepy Hollow has drawn the affluent to its borders, lured by the village’s deeply rooted history, bucolic way of life and close proximity to Manhattan. Many of the village’s wealthy residents built magnificent mansions in the area, several of which are open to the public, including Kykuit, a six-story stone estate with Hudson River views that was home to four generations of the Rockefeller family. Sleepy Hollow’s waterfront location also makes it a haven for trout fishing and boating. Miles of scenic trails and paths lend themselves to horseback riding, biking and walking amid nature.
