 From I-95 North or South

Take Exit 66 to Route 9 North to Exit 3 Westbrook/Essex.  Turn left at the end of the ramp and then right to the light on West Ave.  Follow West Ave. to Prospect Street on the left to Methodist Hill.  Take the first right to Essex Square onto Main Street.  Follow Main Street to the ramp at the end of the road.

Launching at the Essex Town Ramp

 The Essex town launch ramp is at the end of Main Street alongside the lawn of the Connecticut River Museum.  There is room for several boats to stage without blocking traffic; but we must launch in a manner so that the local law enforcement establishment is not irritated.  We ask that all participating boat owners drive up to the ramp and prepare your boat for launching while you are waiting for the boats ahead of you to launch; once your boat is launched have someone move your vehicle and trailer to the trailer parking area.  Do not leave your boat or vehicle and trailer unattended at or near the ramp.  There will be a launch team available to assist you.

Launching at Haddam Meadows State Park

 If you want to enjoy a ride on the River and launch and retrieve your boat in fresh water, you can use the State launch ramp at Haddam Meadows State Park (approximately 10 miles up river from Essex).  There is no fee, and you can leave your vehicles.  This is a concrete ramp with docks on both sides.  Be aware that the ramp may be busy during the weekend.  If you will need your vehicle during the weekend, you will have to make your own arrangements.

Directions to Haddam Meadows State Park

 From the South

Take Route 9 North to Exit 7 (Route 82).  At the “T” with Route 154, turn left (North) and stay on Route 154 until you see the sign for Haddam Meadows State Park on the right (approximately 3-4 miles).  Enter the Park, turn right and follow the road to the launch ramp.

 Important Rules and Regulations for the

“Vintage Treasures”

 34^th Annual Antique and Classic Boat Show

And All Future Shows at the CT River Museum

 To follow are some very important “rules and regulations” concerning our 32^nd Annual Antique and Classic Boat Show and subsequent shows at the CT River Museum:

• The Connecticut River Museum is a “non-smoking” venue and as such, no smoking is permitted on the grounds, the docks or any buildings within the museum proper.
• For those individuals bringing a boat in on Friday July 13^th and placing it on the lawn, the museum has requested that boats being displayed on the lawn not arrive any earlier than 1:00 p.m.  SNEC will have a designated chapter member available to ensure that the placing of the boats on the lawn goes smoothly.  Boats may be brought in on Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.  Someone will be available to assist with the placement of boats on the lawn.
• Please be cognizant of the fact that the museum has just had their entrance and lawn redone, so we must be careful of sprinkler heads, plantings, etc.
• The Connecticut River Museum is the Permittee on any liquor served during our event and as such, no liquor may be brought in by individuals.  There will be a cash bar at the Friday night dinner as well as before, during and after the dinner and awards ceremony on Saturday.  Any additional liquor consumed must be purchased through the CT River Museum bartenders.
• No overnight sleeping will be allowed on participant’s boats.
