The Ichabod Crane Schoolhouse is a 19th-century building that served as a local single-room public school into the 1940s. Recently awarded a 'Legends & Lore' marker by the New York Folklore Society & William G. Pomeroy Foundation honoring Washington Irving's "Sleepy Hollow" character 'Ichabod Crane', who was patterned after the original Kinderhook Schoolteacher, Jesse Merwin--hence the schoolhouse name.

Originally located on land at the corner of 9H and Fischer Rd, the school was moved to the Luykas Van Alen house property and restored to its 1930s appearance after the Kinderhook school district centralized .
