When a Wallop was OK Enfield (Google Maps location) June 11, 2017 When your hobby is visiting every museum in Connecticut, you must – wait. Stop. Don’t make this your hobby. People will think you weird. For real. Well, at least get married before you do this like I did. As I was saying... you need to … [Read more...]
355. Martha A. Parsons House Museum
“Parsons Me, But I Need to Take Pictures” Enfield (Google Maps location) June 11, 2017 Remember back in the day when I started this website? Damian was a wee baby, Calvin not yet a twinkle in my eye, my hair was dark and my abs were taut. Well, the first two things were true anyway. Yeah? And remember how … [Read more...]
347. Lance Arnold Gallery & Fairy Trail
Flotsam and GetSum Ashford/Willington (Google Maps Location) May 21, 2017 For those of you unaware who may happen to care, there's a CTMQ facebook page. I pretty much only use it to post new pages when I publish them. I'll spare you my facebook hate for now. Because sometimes it actually does something good. … [Read more...]
344. Gene Pitney Stuff
I Call Him the Vernon Rocket Rockville/Vernon (Google Maps location) Early 2017 I promise I won't bore you (again) with a dissertation and dissection of the whole Vernon vs. Rockville thing. Of course... I could... but I won't. I'll admit that The Vernon Rocket doesn't have the same "oomph" as The Rockville … [Read more...]

341. Cheney Hall
Silky Smooth Manchester (Google Maps location) January, 2017 Long time readers are surely tired of me writing the following: Yes, I know, this isn’t a museum. Get over it.

296. Northeast States Civilian Conservation Corps Museum
For the Hard Corps Museum Fan Stafford (Google Maps location) June 20, 2015 As I begin writing about this place, I can’t get the thought out of my head that it’s probably on the state budget chopping block. The state runs fewer museums than you’d think and this one would be my guess for the lowest visitor count … [Read more...]
340. Dehn Gallery
DEHN-DEH-DEHHHHHNNNN! Manchester (Google Maps location) December 10, 2016 Upon reflection, I should have saved the Dehn Gallery on Manchester's suddenly modestly Main Street until last.

338. Enfield Athletic Hall of Fame

This is yet another little place on my massive list of museums that we all agree is not a museum. But as you now know, I don't care. I made the effort to go there (and it actually required … [Read more...]
Connecticut Audubon Fictional Passport Challenge
Lots and Lots of Audubonalia For some reason, I wrote an intro to this intro page. This page came together simply because I wanted to have a page that put all the various Audubon “things” in Connecticut into one spot. In other words, I’m doing this for one person: me.
