Area museums, historic sites and other attractions are taking part in Essex National Heritage Area’s Trails & Sails over the next two weeks.
Trails & Sails kicks off its 16-day, 25th anniversary celebration Saturday, Sept. 12. Starting this opening weekend, Sept. 12-13, the public can find events highlighting four themes: Essex County Revolution 250, Outdoor Explorations, Life by the Water and Stories We Share.
All events are free, including guided hikes, behind-the-scenes tours of historic and cultural sites, boat trips, cultural celebrations and family-friendly adventures for all ages. Organizers say, through community partnerships, Trails & Sails offers accessible experiences that connect people with the stories, landscapes and traditions that define the region.
