Historically, Trails & Sails has focused on outdoor activities such as guided hikes and excursions on the water (hence the “trails” and the “sails”) but over the years the event series has grown to include tours of historic houses, lectures on Essex County history, and demonstrations of cultural activities. This year, our partners have organized some of the most unique & exciting events yet. These events celebrate the best of historic, cultural, and natural resource that form the Essex National Heritage Area. Throughtout the 34 cities and towns of Essex County, we hope that you have an amazing Trails & Sails experience!
