Organization Description
The whitewashed stone church beside the burying-ground, serving the valley's souls since 1685 — the longest-tenured employer in the hollow.
Who we are
A small permanent staff — sexton, chorister, bell-ringer — under the dominie, funded by a congregation that has never once paid late. Generations-deep job security: our posts turn over by mortality, not by dismissal.
How we work
Quietly, on a fixed calendar of services, feast days, weddings, and funerals, with the bell as the schedule everyone in the valley works to. The churchyard's one restless former cavalryman is, we maintain, a tenant and not staff.
Who thrives here
Steady, sober, reliable people who are untroubled by that particular churchyard after dark, and who understand that the dead do not reschedule.
Recorded in the parish register of Sleepy Hollow, autumn of 1799.
