As part of Sleepy Hollow’s 150th anniversary, the Village is creating a time capsule that will be buried in front of Village Hall, 28 Beekman Avenue. Donate special small items that can be placed in the capsule that represent life today in Sleepy Hollow. There will be a collection box staffed by the Historical Society of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown. The capsule will be opened in 2049 at Sleepy Hollow’s 175th anniversary celebration.
