On December 10th at 8:15 pm, Sleepy Hollow will observe the 15th anniversary of the 1996 Village renaming with a bell-ringing at the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow.
The traditional annual bell-ringing celebrates the December 10th, 1996 public referendum that renamed the Village Sleepy Hollow by a vote of 2 to 1.
Following the counting of the vote on that date a spontaneous assembly gathered at the Old Dutch Church to ring in the new Village name. Those present generally take a hand in ringing the ancient 300-year-old church bell. This year Village officials, past and present, are expected to attend. Those wishing to participate are welcome
