Wander a 1680s burying ground where weathered soul effigies and real-life inspirations for Katrina Van Tassel and Brom Bones rest in the soil that haunted Washington Irving's imagination. It is smaller, older, and more intimate than its famous neighboring cemetery, with a remarkably well-kept three-acre plot to explore at your own pace.
