See The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Come to Life This Fall

Have you heard of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow? In middle school, I remember learning about this tale and being taken back by it.

Some would argue that the story behind The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is fictional while others say that it's based on true events.

Is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow a true story?

Based on the New York Historical Society, Washington Irving could have been inspired from "an actual Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball during the Battle of White Plains". This would have taken place in 1776.

Since Irving's story takes place in the Village of Sleepy Hollow in New York, this story feels more real to those who read it.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is now a musical in the Hudson Valley.
