Gather your crew and head down to the Connecticut River Museum  on Thursday evenings for cocktails and music overlooking historic Essex Harbor.  Back by popular demand for a fifth summer season, “Thursdays at the Dock” extends the Museum’s daily hours by opening the first floor galleries, museum shop and North deck from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm starting on July 12 and running through August 30.  All are invited to sample the River’s great heritage and natural beauty while enjoying music and refreshments on the waterfront.  Each week, featured area musicians perform a diverse mix of maritime folk, bluegrass, folk rock, and other popular styles.   A reduced admission price of $5 per person will be charged, Museum members are admitted free.  Cash bar and light snacks will be available.
