The Essex Historical Society and Shipbuilding Museum
Open April through December We will be closed April 20, 2014
The Mission of the Essex Historical Society and Shipbuilding Museum is to provide a center for education, preservation, and study of traditional Essex shipbuilding and the community that supported it. We value the skills, creativity, learning abilities, and connectedness to their environment of the Essex shipbuilders, and we believe that building a clear understanding and appreciation of their unique craftsmanship serves as a valuable model for us today.
