Old Dutch Church, Where Were You during the Revolution?

The Old Dutch Church in North Tarrytown, N.Y. (now known as Sleepy Hollow) was closed during the American revolution situated, as it was, in the buffer zone between British New York City and Patriots in part farther North. Described as “neutral ground,” the area was prone to attack by opposing sides.
