Arts & Culture

Elizabethtown revels in history - whether it's classical music in our historic district, the highly regarded Adirondack History Museum, or the charming red brick buildings that make up the Essex County Seat. 

Local establishments host live, local and regional jazz, classical, country, and bluegrass bands year-round for free or at affordable prices. Youth  find creative enrichment events at the Social Center - cooking, crafts, children's opera, circus arts and more. The Elizabethtown library hosts educational and arts workshops, and a summer farmer's market offers local produce, live music and lunches from local vendors. 

Local teens can enroll in a free, afterschool program that offers daily free-play, musical field trips, and outdoor recreation activities. A culture of outdoor activity encourages a massive trail system for mountain bikers, skiers and a unique camaraderie among athletes. Annual festivals like E'town Day brings the town together.
