291. Studio 80 + Sculpture Grounds
Frenetic and Kinetic Old Lyme (Google Maps location) April 16, 2015 We are nothing if not intrepid. Having visited the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts Gallery next door in early March, we attempted to walk the grounds here. Unfortunately, the two feet of snow on the ground made that rather difficult. … [Read more...]
380. Wells Dinosaur Haven
Oh Well(s) Montville, (Google Maps location) March 30, 2018 This little place is super cool and the artist that created it is super cool. My kids thought it was super cool. I want to be sure you understand this before you continue... For the Wells Dinosaur Haven has clearly seen better days. Heck, it was … [Read more...]
379. Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center
Take a Flyer Old Lyme, (Google Maps location) March 25, 2018 I feel like I shouldn't be writing about the Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center based upon an opening day visit. After all, the "center" is quite unlike all of the other Connecticut Audubon centers as of spring 2018. It is not housed in a homey … [Read more...]
376. The Monastery Gallery of Art
Oh, Brother Farmington, (Google Maps location) March 18, 2018 There’s a lot going on here. Here at the Holy Family Retreat and Conference Center, here in the woods nearby, and heck, here in Farmington. Of Connecticut’s 169 towns, I’m submitting Farmington as one of the top 5 with the most... interesting things … [Read more...]
375. Unionville Museum
Kids These Days Farmington, (Google Maps location) March 4, 2018 I've thought about going to the Unionville Museum for years. Literally years. It's not far from my house and it is open fairly frequently. I figured it would be a quick visit and an easy check-off from my museum list. I was more right than I … [Read more...]
343. Best Video Film & Cultural Center
When “Best” Also Means “Only” Hamden (Google Maps location) February 25, 2017 Too often, I feel the need to explain myself as to why I lump certain places into my liberal definition of what constitutes a museum. I fully realize that many places I categorize as such are not museums in anything but the broadest … [Read more...]
238. Quinnipiac Dawnland Museum
It Just Dawned on Me... Guilford (Google Maps location) September 8, 2012 At the time of my visit to this little one-man-show museum, I am fairly certain it was a standalone operation that just happened to be located at another museum - The Dudley Farm Museum. These days (2018 and beyond) it certainly still … [Read more...]
239. Durham Historical Society Museum
Derrr, Uhhhmm Durham (Google Maps location) September 8, 2012 This is one of those (probably) totally (maybe) unfair "reviews" of an innocent little town history historical society museum. Note the date of my visit: 2012. So whenever you're reading this in the future, perhaps the Durham Historical Society … [Read more...]
236. Edith B. Nettleton Historical Room
The Thorny Issue of What Is and What Is Not a Museum Guilford (Google Maps location) September 8, 2012 Rgarding my title (and ignoring the "nettle"/"thorny" pun), of course this little room at the Guilford Free Library isn't a museum. But I started making note of "local history rooms" at town libraries years … [Read more...]
