Editing Essex, New York (section)

==Education and culture==
Most of Essex is served by [[Willsboro Central School District]], though the Boquet Valley Central School is also used. Additionally, some travel across Lake Champlain to Vermont or drive north to Plattsburgh for private school.

For twenty years, the Essex Theatre Company, located near the ferry dock in the Masonic Lodge, has continuously produced stage plays and broadway musicals for summertime enjoyment – and also occasional winter entertainment programs.

The entire town is situated among quaint shops, cafes, and restaurants. Most notable for their placement on the National Register of Historic Places, the entire town is included on the Registry.

Periodically there are adult education programs, such as a history lecture series, at the Whallonsburgh Grange.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.thegrangehall.org/home/lyceum-series |title=Whallonsburgh Grange Lyceum Series. |access-date=November 15, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110404145417/http://www.thegrangehall.org/home/lyceum-series |archive-date=April 4, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/pages/upnorth-forum North Country Public Radio UpNorth Forum]</ref>
