Essex...
The Town of Essex extends from the centre hub of Essex County down to the shores of Lake Erie. Consisting of four distinct and unique centres – Essex Centre, Harrow Centre, McGregor Centre and Colchester Centre, Essex prides itself on its historical beginnings when the glistening rails of the Canada Southern Railway were laid across the muddy Talbot Trail in 1873. You will find historical recollections captured on murals in Essex Centre, rich agriculture and farmlands through Colchester North, a vast selection of wineries dotting Harrow and Colchester Centres and beautiful lake views from Colchester Harbour. Exciting events highlight many tourist attractions
within this fine community: the Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village, John R. Park Homestead, the Essex and Community Historical Research Society, the Essex Steam and Gas Engine Museum, the Essex Railway Station and the Harrow Early Immigrant Research Society. Join us for the Essex Fun Fest, the Harrow Fair and the NEW and exciting Explore the Shore weekend event – highlighting local foods, beverages and attractions on scenic, rural Essex County Road 50, along the shore of Lake Erie from Malden Centre on the west to Arner Townline on the east. Take the time to explore the many shops and businesses, and experience vibrant hospitality throughout the Harrow, McGregor, Colchester and Essex Centres.
