“Constructed in 1699, sitting at the south corner of the Old Dutch Burying Ground, not to be confused with the larger Sleepy Hollow Cemetery just to the north, along the east side of the Old Post Road, this is the second oldest church in the state of New York. It was constructed at the direction of Frederick Philipse I, who owned land stretching from the Bronx to the Croton River and who features in the tale of William Kidd (check down by the river). Normally I would be hesitant to say the wealthy individual who funded a project “built” it, but legend has it that Frederick Philipse was a trained carpenter who designed the church and constructed the pulpit himself. The church and surrounding cemetery are at the heart of Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and fittingly are a large tourist draw on Halloween weekend. Therefore I find it baffling that given the large number of tourists combined with the local community trying to raise money to repair the church’s roof, the church itself was closed on Saturday afternoon. Most churches that pride themselves in their mission are open nearly all the time, this one however seems to not be.”
“The salvation and the workers kept me from starving from non nutritious food at the place I’m staying….. social services doesn’t help people with disabilities and the need for proper housing! I’m looking forward to being a part of this wonderful team to help people who need it and not be abused. What an incredible contribution and community help where nobody else will ever help you”
“It's been a minute since I've been there, but it's always a great time. It's always so humbling to see everyone smiling, and I love seeing Rabbi Mara and Billy, as well as Cantor Johnathan. The bar mitzvahs (especially mine lol) are fun, and it's a great community. HIGHLY recommend trying it.”
