<p>The Connecticut River Museum in Essex, CT will host a Block Party on Saturday, September 6, which will include historic rope-making, hands-on history with the Essex Historical Society, a nature-themed craft activity, tours of Museum exhibits and dockside tours of our sailing vessel Onrust. CactusHead Puppets will perform The Bremen Town Musicians twice inside the Museum during the Block Party. This production tells the story of farm animals that leave home for a musical adventure on the road, featuring lovable rod puppets and elaborate shadow scenes. The program will include an ASL interpreter to improve accessibility.</p>
