Tarrytown, Historic village in Westchester County, United States.
Tarrytown is a village on the eastern shore of the Hudson River, roughly twenty five miles upstream from Manhattan in Westchester County. The Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge crosses the water nearby, connecting both riverbanks and offering wide views over the valley.
Local militiamen captured British Major John André here in 1780, which uncovered Benedict Arnold's betrayal during the Revolutionary War. This event played a turning point in the conflict and shaped the area's place in early American memory.
The village maintains multiple religious buildings, including the Christ Episcopal Church and First Baptist Church, both registered as National Historic Places.
The Metro-North Railroad station runs regular trains to Grand Central Terminal throughout the day, linking the village directly to midtown Manhattan. Visitors on foot can explore the compact center easily, with riverside paths and nearby residential streets suitable for walking.
The Rockefeller estate Kykuit was built from 1906 onward and includes a six-story stone mansion set among terraced gardens on a hilltop. Visitors can view an extensive art collection there, combining outdoor sculptures with works from different periods.
