Actually, that's not the "real" Sleepy Hollow. Washington Irving's Sleepy Hollow of Headless Horseman fame is on the Hudson river in Westchester County NY.

The famous Sleepy Hollow of Washington Irving's story was never officially named Sleepy Hollow while he was alive, but was located in a Dutch settlement called Beekmantown near Tarrytown, NY.
In 1997 the residents of North Tarrytown, NY voted to rename their community Sleepy Hollow in honor of Irving.
This Concord, NH Sleepy Hollow is unconnected to Irving.

(I didn't know this either.)
