About this event
Step inside one of the Hudson River’s most beloved landmarks. Join a 45-minute interpreter-led tour of the Tarrytown Lighthouse in Sleepy Hollow and discover the story of this 1883 cast-iron “sparkplug” light — from its years guiding steamships past dangerous shoals to the keepers and families who once called its five-story tower home. Now restored to its historic appearance and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the lighthouse sits at the water’s edge in Kingsland Point Park, reached by a scenic 10-minute stroll from either inside Kingsland Point Park or from the RiverWalk entrance at the foot of Beekman Avenue. Tours are free; reservations are required and parking fees may apply. Please note: the lighthouse is accessed by four narrow stairways, there are no restrooms inside (restrooms are available in the park), and the front gate locks 15 minutes after the tour begins. Tours run rain or shine.
