Essex Steam Train
Take a ride on a steam locomotive from the 1920s, chugging along the river to the hamlet of Deep River. The excursion takes about an hour. It can be combined with a cruise on a Mississippi-style riverboat (named Becky Thatcher) for a 2 1/2-hour tour. Dinner trains include a four-course meal and a 2 1/2-hour ride for $70.
