Lime Rock Park

Lime Rock Park

Rockin’ Lime Rock Park, Salisbury September 28, 2012 When hiking the Appalachian Trail, I’d hear a persistent rumor that thru-hikers could get into Lime Rock for free – should he or she happen to come down to Route 7 on a race day. I’ve always believed that to be true, but don’t have any first hand evidence. … [Read more...]

272. Connecticut Fire Museum

Stop, Drop, and Roll Into This Museum Connecticut Fire Museum, East Windsor (Google Maps location) June 14, 2014 There are a lot of fire museums in Connecticut. Way more than you think - ten.

273. CT Motor Coach Museum

Put Me In Coach, I'm Ready To Play CT Motor Coach Museum, East Windsor (Google Maps location) June 13, 2014 Is there really a museum devoted to motor coaches in East Windsor? No, not really. Am I really writing a page on CTMQ pretending that there really is a museum devoted to motor coaches in East Windsor? … [Read more...]

Massive Gallery of CT Vanity Plates

5TUP1D Since I find myself driving all over the state, I’m bound to come across plenty of dumb, funny, confusing, and yes, sexual vanity plates. This is the exceedingly rare page on CTMQ that is crowdsourced. So feel free to help out. After I posted this, I was alerted by a reader to his Flickr page with over … [Read more...]

Stafford Motor Speedway

The Finish Line! Stafford Motor Speedway, Stafford August 11, 2017 A couple things to preface this page: 1. I had a really fun time at the Stafford Motor Speedway. 2. This was, in part, due to the fact that it marked my final visit in Stafford. I've completely completed the town! That’s right, … [Read more...]

203. New England Muscle Bicycle Museum (RIP)

This Place is Bananas! Bloomfield (Closed) May 7, 2011 Since I can only assume you've all read the hundreds of other museum visit pages that I've written, I want to let you know at the outset here that this one will be a bit different than most of the others. For one, this museum no longer exists as it did in … [Read more...]

”Oh Fireman, There’s Somethin’ Smoking Hot On the Beach!” Portland (Google Maps location) November 29, 2014 2019 Update: This museum has closed. I’m the rare writer who starts pages with an aside. I'm pretty sure that makes me a bad writer, but don’t tell anyone. Anyway, if you live in Connecticut and have … [Read more...]

Don’t Eat the Brown Acid… Or Anything Else Brown Woodstock (Google Maps location) September 3, 2012 Here is my page on the Woodstock Fair itself Some readers are probably aware of my dislike for these town fairs. I can report that my dislike has morphed into more curiosity than anything. Like, why do people … [Read more...]

193. Berlin Agricultural Lions Museum

This is What A-Tractored Her To Me! Berlin (Google Maps location) October 3, 2010 This museum is open only at the Berlin Fair As many of you know, I’m not from these parts. In addition to not having grown up with town agricultural fairs (and frankly not really understanding their appeal), it has taken me many … [Read more...]

Hilltop Farm

To Top off Vacation Week Hilltop Farm, Suffield September 6, 2010 Arrgh! This is (yet another) one of the pages on this website that make me crazy when it comes to placement. It’s not a museum, but it’s so much more than a farm and has such an interesting history – and future potential – that its borderline. … [Read more...]
