The Connecticut River Museum in historic Essex was recently damaged by a fire that traveled up the east wall and across the roof. Local fire crews were able to extinguish the blaze without injury, but the museum galleries and collections sustained significant smoke and water damage. Museum staff is working on a plan to repair and restore the 1870-era steamboat terminal and reinstall the exhibits.
