About Us

Our Location

If you know Essex, Connecticut, you'll agree that few places compare. A colonial seaport village on the Connecticut River near the mouth of Long Island Sound, Essex offers the best of small-town living combined with strong historical and cultural traditions and unsurpassed natural beauty. Essex is conveniently located between New York City and Boston (just a two-hour train ride in either direction from neighboring Old Saybrook), and it is also a short ride from other Connecticut cities such as New Haven, Hartford, Middletown and New London.

We are not alone in thinking that Essex is special. In his second edition of The 100 Best Small Towns in America, author Norman Crampton named Essex the "#1 small town in America."
