Route 9 used to curve over and cross the Pocantico River further upstream. No one is sure where the bridge once was. Intrigued, my investigation would have to wait for two weeks before I got back to the Historical Society. ![]() One that shocked me was that the bridge the Headless Horseman would have chased Icabod Crane over was not where the New York sign marker says that it was, namely where the current bridge over the Pocantico River is on Route 9.
