The Historical Society serving Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown is celebrating its 59th Annual Strawberry Festival on Sunday, June 14. The event is rain or shine, from 12 to 3 pm on the lawn of the 1848 Jacob Odell House, One Grove Street, Tarrytown.
The Historical Society will serve traditional homemade strawberry shortcakes with freshly whipped cream, along with ice cream, lemonade, and iced tea. We are kicking off our celebration of “America at 250” with our new exhibit, The Stories Flags Tell. This special installation explores the evolution of the American flag from the Revolutionary War to today, alongside a collection of state, village, and local institutional flags that reflect the stories and pride of our community.
Younger visitors can join in the fun with hands-on activities throughout the day, including designing their own flags, coloring, and games. All ages will enjoy the local musicians in the garden.
Tickets are $10 apiece at the door. Checks, cash, and online payments accepted. As one of our important annual fundraisers, the festival supports The Historical Society’s mission to preserve the history of our area and sustain our educational programs year-round.
