The Essex Historical Society, located in Essex, Connecticut, was founded in 1895 to preserve the historic legacy of the town. Its mission is to promote the knowledge and appreciation of the town's heritage and to serve as a resource for its citizens, visitors, and students.

The Society is housed in the historic Pratt House, which was built in 1790 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house was the home of two generations of the Pratt family, and the Society has preserved many of the original furnishings. In addition to the house, the Society also operates a museum, library, and archives. The museum contains artifacts and photographs that tell the story of Essex and its residents. The library holds a collection of books, periodicals, pamphlets, and other materials that document the history of the town.

The Society also hosts a variety of events and programs throughout the year. These include lectures, workshops, and educational programs. The Society also sponsors several annual events, including the Essex Historical Tour and the Essex Art and History Festival.

The Society also works to preserve the town's historic architecture through its Historic Preservation Program. The program provides grant funding for restoration projects, and works to protect the town's historic buildings and sites.
