This website began as Connecticut MuseumQuest in 2006 and only later became CTMQ. Regardless, museums were and are the core of what I do. And fortunately for all of us, Connecticut has a ton of museums - two tons if you define them loosely like I do! Also, see: CTMQ Town Guides, everything to do in the state … [Read more...]
295. Goodwin Schoolhouse
It's a Bear of a Town East Hartford (Google Maps location) June 13, 2015 Good. You win. Winning is Good. And, somewhat oddly, there is more than one Goodwin school in East Hartford. And, to the best of my (20-second Googling) knowledge, none are historically related to the others. So if you’re here … [Read more...]
294. Makens Bemont House
Just Maken Stuff up East Hartford (Google Maps location) June 13, 2015 When it comes to Connecticut's Hartfords, East Hartford struggles a bit to be in the conversation. No other Hartford can ever be the OG Hartford Hartford, and West Hartford seems to have skyrocketed since the late 80's as one of the more … [Read more...]
368. Farm Tool Museum
Look at These Tools East Windsor (Google Maps location) August 12, 2017 I was having a discussion with my wife recently and mentioned something about East Windsor and how I was excited to be closing in on visiting every museum and hiking every trail and all that good stuff I do for this here website. She kind of … [Read more...]
367. Osborn House Museum
Re(Os)Born East Windsor (Google Maps location) August 12, 2017 No use beating around the bush here. I don't have much information for you about the Osborn House Museum of East Windsor Connecticut. Oh, sure, I have a bunch of pictures. And I can make a bunch of stuff up. It wouldn't be the first time... and it … [Read more...]
422. Talcott Mountain Science Center & Academy
Night of a Quadrillion Stars Avon (Google Maps location) May 24, 2019 It's funny that it took me nearly 13 years into this CTMQ adventure to get up to the closest entity on CTMQ to my house. (Maybe Westmoor Park or Crown Market is closer, but not by much. Why am I even qualifying this? You certainly don't care. My … [Read more...]
440. Green District Schoolhouse
Canterbury Tales Canterbury (Google Maps location) June 8, 2019 There's a good chance that you are not familiar with Canterbury, Connecticut. And that's fine. I mean, it's not like it's home to one of the most important abolitionist educators that ever lived. Or was the birth - and final resting - place of the … [Read more...]
357. Iwo Jima/World War II Traveling Museum
Catch the Trailer East Hartford (Transient) June 10, 2017 There's just something about catching up with a museum on wheels. Or one that pops up every few years in different places - like BioBlitz, which I also visited in East Hartford. I'm sure you all get the same thrill I do when the stars align and a visit to … [Read more...]
418. Ordway Gallery and AoF Sports Hall of Fame
Yeah... Gonna Hafta Do This the Ordway Avon (Google Maps location) May 19, 2019 I have a weird fascination with Connecticut's private boarding schools. One reason is their exorbitant costs; usually around $70,000/year when all is said and done. But mostly because many of them have remarkably interesting histories, … [Read more...]
369. Broad Brook Barbershop & Courthouse Museums
Don't Judge My Haircut East Windsor (Google Maps location) August 12, 2017 These two tiny standalone museums are part of the larger East Windsor Historical Society Museum complex. There are two historic house museums, a farm tool museum, a schoolhouse museum, and the two that I've combined onto this one page. … [Read more...]
