Located just miles north of New York City; the Hudson River villages of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow experienced the highs and lows of the 20th century. The villages experienced life in a grand scale from the 1909 Hudson Fulton Celebration to the 1970s village centennial and American bicentennial festivities. Photographs from the collection of the Historical Society; Inc.; serving Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown bring the 20th century to life. Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow in the 20th Century includes images of local and world-renowned personalities; the changing business landscape; growth and consolidation of the public schools; participation of the local population in various business and social organizations; changes in fashion over the years; and the construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge in the 1950s.

I saw many familiar names and faces. Martha Churchills photo captions were illuminating and gave me information that I wasnt aware of. well done to author and publisher in bringing such a worthwhile book to the market. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in small town history of a Midwestern village in Michigan.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Milan.
