Event Details

Spoken Word Artist/Storyteller Linda Schuyler Ford, grew up wandering the very hills of the Hudson Valley, that inspired author Washington Irving to pen “America’s story”,  The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. That eerie tale, and its enchanted setting, informed much  of her childhood, and shaped her into the beloved storyteller she is today.

Join Linda for a performance of that iconic Halloween story, as well as other deliciously eerie tales associated with Washington Irving’s favorite haunts-Scotland, Spain, and York’s Catskill Mountains.
