Essex

Essex is a tiny community in Flathead County, Montana on US Highway 2 along the southern boundary of Glacier National Park, best known for the historic Izaak Walton Inn, a railroad lodge where BNSF trains still roll past and rail fans and skiers gather. Its life runs on rail-and-Glacier tourism, the inn, and the few businesses serving the remote stretch between West Glacier and East Glacier. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Essex area's lodging, rail-tourism, and local businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
