Essex Steam Train & Riverboat’s 2 1/2-hour journey begins at the historic 1892 Essex Station for a 12-mile, narrated round-trip into the heart of the unspoiled Connecticut River Valley. The steam locomotive pulls vintage coaches through the quintessential New England towns of Deep River and Chester.

It’s time for some Tacos, Tequila and Tunes aboard the Tacos & Tequila Cruise! Ride our vintage train pulled by an antique diesel locomotive to the Becky Thatcher Riverboat where you will enjoy a Margarita, a taco bar and other light food and live music.
