Located in Sleepy Hollow, New York, this was made a famous cemetery by Washington Irving's story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Washington Irving himself is buried in it.

An overview of some the cemetery, taken from a vantage not far behind the Old Dutch Church:

There is a great deal more to the cemetery than what is visible here. It is very hilly, and has roads so it can be driven through.

There is a roadway (Federal Highway 9, to be precise) located down a small hill to the left of what is visible in this picture; cars may frequently be heard passing by, doubtless not a feature of the cemetery back in Irving's time. Visitors in small but respectable quantities are also common.

A grave of someone named "Lister":
