Essex National Heritage Commission Canon Photo Safari on June 20th with guest photographer Barbara Ellison and other members of the Canon team! Thanks to the Trustees of Reservations (who manage the Crane Estate among other wonder sites throughout the state) we explored the beautiful grounds of the Estate, Marsh, and beach!

Essex National Heritage Commission "You folks manage to find the most awesome instructors for us. Barbara and Louise were terrific, sharing and dispensing their knowledge throughout the whole safari. Of course, the location was a huge part of our photo success. Thank you, girls, for organizing everything with the Commission, Hunt's Photo, the instructors and the venue location."

Essex National Heritage Commission Nicest note from an Explorer member about the Canon Photo Safari last Saturday. It was a great day! Thank you to Hunt's Photo and Video, the Trustees of Reservations, Crane Estate and of course Canon and all participants! We learned so much and had fabulous time, not a drop of rain and perfect light!

I pledge to renew my membership, and invite everyone reading this to sign up as well. EVERY program they've done has been outstanding. The quality of life here on the North Shore is something they really care about promoting and finding ways -- usually free -- for everyone to enjoy.

Essex National Heritage Commission Tom’s longtime commitment to the heritage development of the Essex County is legendary. From his early years as the youngest Mayor elected to office in Lynn, to his distinguished career as Postmaster and political sage who served as one of the “founding fathers’ of the Essex National Heritage Ad Hoc Committee, Tom has been our champion.
