Good Afternoon....The following information is provided to let you know about a great program offered by the Essex Heritage. There is so much to see in this region, and the National Park Service site in Saugus has recently been updated. If you have never visited this site this would be a time to visit, The photo opportunities offered at the "Safari's" are wonderful, and if you have never attended a session, this will be the last chance to participate this season. Tom Leonard Saturday, August 15th Nikon Photo Safari with photographer Gary Stanley Capture! Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site 7am - 12 pm Register! Don't miss the last Photo Safari of the season on August 15th! We'll be equipped with the latest and greatest camera gear from Nikon and coached by professional photographer Gary Stanley as we go behind the scenes of the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site. Capture the nation's first fully integrated ironworks from 1646! The site also features seven operating waterwheels that set the reconstructed mills to motion. Walk the scenic one-half mile nature trail consisting of marsh and woodland trails. Follow the path from the visitor contact station to the blacksmith shop and down along the east bank of the Saugus River. Ready to embark? Photo Safari sessions are open to the public and registration for each event is required. You will receive hands-on instruction from Hunt's knowledgeable technical experts during the session, and also go home with all your images on a free digital memory card and a gift certificate from Hunt's Photo & Video.
