Join Prospect Park Alliance for a community reading of Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow on the porch of Lefferts Historic House.

The full version of this famous ghost story, written in 1820 but set in 1790, includes numerous references to the prevalence of slavery in southern New York at the end of the 18th century as well as lengthy descriptions of a Dutch American plantation house quite similar to Lefferts Historic House..
