Based at Steamboat Dock on the banks of the Connecticut River in Essex, the Connecticut River Museum celebrates the maritime heritage of the Connecticut River Valley. The educational and cultural institution focuses on the marine environment with a variety of interactive exhibits that showcase a wealth of maritime-related items, objects, and artifacts from the region. Visitors can discover old navigation tools, handmade tools used for fishing and hunting, delight in a model train layout, and explore the Turtle, the first submarine to be used during the Revolutionary War. The museum also offers a range of educational and community outreach programs and special events throughout the year.
