Murder Mystery 2026

Join us for a Murder Mystery experience as we celebrate Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"!

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was published just over 200 years ago, and the literate world is holding a convention to celebrate! Plus, convention organizers promise a spectacular revelation--the discovery of Irving's initial draft, which is scheduled to be read in public for the very first time, by none other than noted Washington Irving impersonator, Zephyr Shatner! But things are not always what they seem, secrets and lies swirl around every corner, and before the night is over, somebody will lose their head!

Enter a world of mayhem, madness, and absolute silliness in this one-of-a-kind interactive murder mystery event!  Everyone is a suspect, even you! Players will be assigned a character beforehand and are encouraged to arrive in costume. Learn secrets and accomplish goals to earn money that you use to purchase clues to help you unravel the mystery.

This is not an event for wallflowers! At this party, YOU are part of the action and should be ready for anything! You might even end up being the murderer! Who do you trust? Who do you believe? Can you unmask the killer in your midst before they strike again?

Note: This is truly an interactive experience - it is NOT possible just to be a spectator.

Date & Time:  Friday and Saturday, October 2nd and 3rd from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

This is an indoor event in the historic Washington Irving Memorial Chapel. Light refreshments will be served. Fundraisers like these help us preserve the history of this amazing place for generations to come. Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Historic Fund is a 501(c)(3) organization and still an active cemetery.
