SUMMARY:Essex and the Revolution Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Cemetery walk as part of our America 250 celebrations! Join EHS Director\, Melissa Josefiak on Saturday\, October 3 at 5:00pm\, for a tour of the cemetery that will visit the gravesites of Essex veterans and residents connected to the Revolutionary War and talk about their histories before\, during\, and after the Revolution. \nLocated 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.  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.   \nThe tour lasts about an hour over uneven\, sloped\, grassy terrain for about half a mile.  Walkers should wear proper footwear and outerwear\, and possibly bring a flashlight if they would like.  While this tour is based on historical facts and is not intended to be ‘haunted’\, historical details about death\, war 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.   Please meet at the base of the cemetery’s driveway. Limited parking is available in the cemetery or along North Main Street.  Ample parking is available next door at  31 North Main Street\, Essex. \nEHS expresses its gratitude to the Board of River View Cemetery for their support. \nIn case of inclement weather\, updated information will appear under the Events tab on EHS’s website\, Facebook and Instagram.  Interested volunteer guides are invited to learn the tour.  No experience necessary and all training is provided.
