Mission: 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.
Programs: Society programs preserve historical shipbuilding objects, rare photographs, records, and documents. Society sponsors lectures, education programs, films, seminars, and excursions for its members and the general public.
