SUMMARY:River View Cemetery Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join EHS Director\, Melissa Josefiak as she guides a tour of historic River View Cemetery\, which dates back over 300 years! Located on the shores of the Connecticut River\, River View Cemetery testifies to the early history of “Potapaug\,” as Essex was once known\, with the oldest gravestones dating from the early 1700s.  Come hear the stories of the cemetery’s ‘residents’ including: the influence of the town’s first pastor: a traitorous sea captain; an enterprising mother/daughter team; and many other engaging and touching tales.  Learn about changes in gravestone art – from grimacing “death’s heads” to ornate obelisks.  Enjoy the cemetery’s beautiful grounds as we trace its history from a simple burial yard to the park-like setting of today\, especially during this twilight tour starting at 5pm.  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe tour lasts about an hour over uneven\, sloped\, grassy terrain for about half a mile.  Walkers should wear proper footwear and possibly bring a flashlight for the twilight tours.  While this tour is based on historical facts and is not intended to be ‘haunted’\, historical details about death and disease may disturb young walkers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEach tour is $10 per person; free to EHS members.   Limited parking is available in the cemetery or along North Main Street.  Ample parking is available next door at 31 North Main Street\, Essex.  Please meet at the base of the cemetery’s driveway. \nEHS expresses its gratitude to the Board of River View Cemetery for their continued support of this program. For more information on walking tours\, please click here.  In case of inclement weather\, updated information will appear under the Events tab on EHS’s website\, Facebook and Instagram. \n\n\nReception at House of the Triple Moon! \n\n\n\n\nJoin us after the walk for a special reception hosted by our friends at House of the Triple Moon! Shop for seasonal items\, enjoy a cup of cider\, and explore a local business. All are welcome! \n\n\nSpace is limited so reserve your place NOW!

SUMMARY:Baby Band (Birth - Age 2)
DESCRIPTION:Program for children ages birth – 2 and their caregivers. \nMusic is one of the earliest ways babies learn about the world! In Baby Band\, caregivers and little ones will sing\, dance\, bounce\, clap\, and explore child-safe instruments in a playful\, engaging environment. Along the way\, babies strengthen early literacy\, communication\, motor\, and social-emotional skills while caregivers discover fun ways to continue the music at home. No pressure to sit still\, wiggles\, giggles\, and movement are all part of the fun! \nWhat to Expect: \nWe’ll start by singing some familiar songs to get the party started. Then\, we’ll explore rhythm with scarves\, shakers\, drums\, or other child-safe instruments. Before we end\, we’ll sing a goodbye song! After baby band\, families are encouraged to stay\, play\, and socialize in our Children’s Room. It’s a wonderful opportunity for children to make friends\, caregivers to connect\, and our library community to grow together. \nEssex Library programs are free and open to the public. \nRegistration is required. \nClick here to register.
