The Hall of Fame Essay Contest was planned as a remembrance of the men and women whose leadership and commitment helped make this area famous and interesting. Students are given the opportunity to exercise their research skills and discover interesting facts and stories about their home villages. The Historical Society serving Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown, the Warner Public Library, the Hudson Valley Writers’ Center, the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns and our two Villages have worked together to make this event a yearly celebration. An Awards Ceremony is held at the Warner Library where the mayors of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow present two cash prizes to the Sleepy Hollow High School student winners. The essays are framed and displayed on the Third Floor at the Warner Library.
