    "I grew up in the next town and went to the public schools. Returned to Essex 23 years ago, and my children attended the public schools. The town has lovely parks, hiking trails, shops, restaurants and terrific neighborhoods. Water access for kayaks and boating is abundant. Local tourist sites include Essex Steam Train, Ivoryton Playhouse, CT River Museum and the Griswold Inn."
