Essex Steam Train & Riverboat, Transportation museum in Essex, Connecticut.
The Essex Steam Train and Riverboat complex incorporates vintage locomotives, passenger coaches, and a riverboat for excursions along the Connecticut River Valley.
The Valley Railroad Company established operations in 1971, maintaining and operating historic steam engines and diesel locomotives that represent Connecticut's industrial past.
The museum preserves mechanical and industrial heritage through regular demonstrations of vintage transportation equipment and educational programs about railway technology.
Train and riverboat combination tours operate from May through October with departures at 11:00 am, 12:30 pm, and 2:00 pm, requiring advance reservations.
Visitors can experience both rail travel and river navigation in one excursion, with specialized caboose seating available during select weekends.
