- General Info
- National Historic Landmark, the Luykas Van Alen house is a restored house museum representing 18th century rural Dutch farm life in the Hudson River Valley. The "Van Alen House" and its farm are believed to have served as the inspiration for Washington Irving's short story 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' as the homestead of the Van Tassel family. Irving was a close friend of Kinderhook native (and U.S. President) Martin Van Buren, a neighbor of the "Van Alen House" and a frequent guest in the town. This property (interior and exterior) was also a location scene in the 1993 Martin Scorsese film, "The Age of Innocence" starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Daniel Day-Lewis. Open seasonally-all summer and fall-along with the Ichabod Crane Schoolhouse. Admissions for the Van Alen House & Ichabod Crane are combined.
