The Ichabod Crane Schoolhouse, recently awarded a "Preserve New York" Grant and a "Legends & Lore" historical marker, is a 19th-century building that served as a local single-room public school into the 1940s. Originally located at the corner of 9H and Fischer Rd, it was moved to the Luykas Van Alen house property in 1974 and restored to its 1930s appearance. The schoolteacher, Jesse Merwin, who inspired Washington Irving's character Ichabod Crane, lived in Kinderhook. The schoolhouse is now a museum and a significant part of American literary history.
