America's "Founding Father of Literature" created a romantic, picturesque estate nestled along the Hudson riverbank. The house and the furnishings, many of which are original to Irving and his family, have been restored to its 1850s character by Historic Hudson Valley, which owns and operates the site as a museum of history open to the public.
Washington Irving's Sunnyside is at 3 W Sunnyside Lane, Tarrytown, one mile south of the Tappan Zee Bridge. Information: 914-366-6900, www.hudsonvalley.org.
