History hits the streets!   Join Essex Historical Society as we bring back our Centerbrook history walking tour with a new addition from our friends at Trinity Lutheran Church.

On August 17th at 5:00pm, join us for a walk through the crossroads of Centerbrook, Essex’s oldest village.  Learn about Centerbrook’s transition from its early farming days as “Center Saybrook” to its later manufacturing development powered by the Falls River.

We are excited to add a new stop to this year’s tour: Trinity Lutheran Church. As the final stop on the walk, we will get a tour of the church and its history from Pastor Kurt Saenger-Heyl, and church members will generously provide light refreshments—sure to be a treat on a warm August evening.

$5 per tour; free to EHS members.  The general public and families welcome.  Each tour lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes over fairly level terrain.   Perfect for life-long-learners and those who like a little exercise with their history.  Please meet at Essex Elementary School, 108 Main Street, Centerbrook.
