Specialties: Discover the history and environment of New England's Great River at the Connecticut River Museum, in Essex, CT. Bring your family. Climb aboard a replica of the Turtle submarine. Imagine being a submarine pilot during the American Revolution. Walk the River's 410 miles as you travel our vertical gallery of aerial photos and a whimsical mural. Learn about the people of the River from Indigenous Americans through the present. The Connecticut River Museum offers changing exhibitions and programs as well. Spend a summer day sailing the River on the Onrust - a replica of Adriean Block's 1614 exploration ship or head out on an eco-tour aboard RiverQuest. The holiday season brings the magic of our annual Train Show; February and March offer EagleWatch exhibit and Boat Tours. Looking for a wedding venue or the perfect spot for your corporate retreat or picnic? We offer a variety of options for rentals. Established in 1974. The Connecticut River Foundation at Steamboat Dock was established in 1974 as a small, all-volunteer organization dedicated to the dream of establishing a museum that would preserve the history of the Connecticut River and its people. The purchase of the 1878 Steamboat Warehouse building, docks and surrounding property was the beginning of that dream becoming a reality. Today, the Connecticut River Museum is a private, not-for-profit, education institution that is fully accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and is a member of the Council of American Maritime Museums and the International Congress of Maritime Museums. In 2012, the Museum expanded its ability to tell the stories of the Connecticut River and its people through the purchase of the historic Samuel Lay House, which adjoins the Museum campus.
