Essex village may not be large but I found it filled with uniqueness. Its Main Street has unique finds from a store of only ducks, a chocolate house which announces when it has warm cookies and one of the oldest bars, the Griswold Inn, in the US serving since 1776.
Also of interest is a small stone enclosed park from the 1800s and a beautiful riverside cemetery that I’ve visited twice simply because of its beauty.
It also has The Connecticut River museum with unique events as well as a restaurant that requires a ferry to reach it on its own island!
I toured it on my bicycle but it’s an easy walkable tour. It has been named one of the best small towns in the US.
This is a non-promotional blog. I am not a photographer nor am I selling anything through this blog. Professionally I am a Business Transformation Specialist focused on gaining efficiencies and reducing costs for major corporations. Recent life experiences made me better appreciate the present and all that can be seen by increasing my focus and attention on my surroundings. I always enjoyed going out and exercising and I would look but I did not see as my attention was on resolving some problem. Captured through pictures and sharing insights about various locations, I hope others can enjoy my research and insights and allow themselves to pause a few moments and truly appreciate and learn new things. When you follow me that is my only gift. To know I have touched you enough to want to follow the blog.
Respectfully (Stay Safe),
