C.H. Pease Museum of Natural History
May I Pease See Your Museum North Canaan (Google Maps Location) February 20, 2010 CT Museum #153 No one will complain about me writing too much about this little museum.

No Need to Get Cross With Me Storrs/Mansfield (Google Maps Location) July 17, 2009 Please note that this was written in 2009 and that I am pretty sure this gallery no longer exists as it did back then.
