It was pretty cool to visit landmarks to one of my favorite movies sleepy hollow with Johnny Depp. We were on a road trip and just had to stop by unfortunately it was late when we stopped by but none the less still awesome to be able to do it.

It's the place where the bridge of The Legand of Sleepy Hollow from Washington Irving's once stood. It's a nice place with beautiful view but don't expect something spectacular. But it is worth visiting if you're in Sleepy Hollow.

Park at the church, we went inside the cemetery initially, and we were almost a mile away. If you park at the church is about a one minute walk away.

Awesome little bridge and I love the spooky vibes. Glad I got to visit this historic little region. I parked next to the gas station on the corner and walked about 50ft to get to the bridge.

Not sure why all the guides saying this was cool. Barely looks like a bridge, you could pass by and miss it if it weren't for the sign. Look at all the pics posted...its mostly the sign. The town really dropped the ball when building this modern "bridge". If you're in the area I guess its ok the check out but DO NOT make a special trip for this let down.

Came here to see the Museum and ended up seeing the headless horseman as my boyfriend and I got to the bridge.
