Irving was inspired for the story by this quiet region just north of the city, including the Old Dutch Burial Ground where the Galloping Hessian is said to tether his horse every night. There is even a nod to the site of the original bridge that Ichabod is said to have tried to make his escape across. It is no longer standing, but there is a replica in nearby Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many stories to be told of this town though, beyond Irving's classic tale. The burial ground was established in 1638, making these residents some of the original settlers. There are Dutch settlers, Revolutionary War heroes, and many others buried within its neatly lined rows. And while some names are said to have inspired characters from the story, they all have their own stories to tell from the real lives they lived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexi Myers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1634995260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781634995269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e America Through Time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.15h x 6.55w x 0.31d","brand":"Lexi Myers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087662039295,"sku":"9781634995269","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d2b6acae-281c-4df0-a2b6-645338672ed0.jpg?v=1753850455","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/old-dutch-burial-ground-lexi-myers-9781634995269","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
