The Old Dutch Church

The Old Dutch Church in Sleepy Hollow has been designated a National Historic Landmark since 1961. The oldest existing church in New York state and one of the oldest churches in America, it continues today as a Protestant house of worship for a congregation that takes as its motto the inscription on the 325-year-old bell: "lf God be for us, who can be against us?"
