Welcome to Crane Wildlife Refuge, a captivating park and tourist attraction located in Ipswich, Massachusetts. This refuge offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance, nestled within the Essex River Estuary. Originally part of the expansive early-20th-century summer estate of Chicago industrialist Richard T. Crane, Jr., and his family, the refuge today invites visitors to explore its diverse ecosystems and rich history. Immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes of salt marshes and coastal islands, and venture ashore to explore the trails on Choate Island and Long Island. These islands, along with Castle Hill and Crane Beach, form a patchwork of coastal habitats that provide a sanctuary for over 200 bird species and numerous rare plants and animals. Choate Island, the largest of the refuge’s seven islands, is a haven for wildlife such as deer, fisher, coyote, and otter, and its historical sites, like the circa 1725-40 Choate House and circa 1778 Proctor Barn, offer a glimpse into the past.
