ESSEX, DEEP RIVER, CT β€” Make a day of the Deep River Muster on Saturday and catch a ride there on the Jolly Red Trolley Here's how;

Just drive to Essex, park your car at the Essex Steam Train Depot, and board the train for the Deep River Muster. The train departs at 9:45--leave time to purchase your ticket (just $10 round trip).
Then a five minute Trolley ride to Downtown Deep River and your front-row view of the Muster Parade. If you wish, you can head back as soon as the parade is over (1st Trolley departs the Deep River Elementary School at 12:50.) But we hope you’ll stick around for the Muster at Devitt Field or spend some time strolling our Main Street shops and eateries. There’s another Trolley departure from Deep River at 2:20 p.m. and 3:50 p.m. back to Essex.
