A photographic postcard of the Luykas Van Alen House located on 9H in Kinderhook, N.Y. Lush greenery and trees surround much of the residence, leaving only its front porch visible. A path runs parallel to the side of the home, and a secondary one is pictured branching off it toward the entrance. The caption reads: "Where Katrina Van Tassel lived, 1 mile from Kinderhook." A prime representation of Dutch Colonial culture in the Hudson Valley, the Luykas Van Alen home was built c. 1737. Up until the 1960s, the Van Alen family owned the residence. In 1964, the Columbia County Historical Society acquired the home. Tradition, according to some, holds that Washington Irving possibly used the home as inspiration for The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
