EHS Staff, volunteers, and community helpers have been hard at work to get Pratt House ready for the summer season. Guides have been trained, exhibits have been installed, floors have been cleaned, gardens have been weeded, now all the house needs are some visitors! Pratt House will be open for FREE guided tours of this over 300-year old home, on Saturdays and Sundays, June through September from 1:00-4:00 pm.

NEW this year are two special exhibit spaces! The first is set with the history of Blacksmithing in Essex complete with objects made by local smiths including the Pratt family. The second exhibit will be installed in mid-June and will feature individual themes researched by sixth graders from Essex Elementary School. Pratt House will also play host to many special programs throughout the summer so please keep an eye on the calendar for all of the happenings!
