300. Keeler Tavern Museum

I Can’t Keep an Even Keel, Because... Ridgefield (Google Maps location) September 12, 2015 I Can’t Keep an Even Keel, Because... This was my 300th Connecticut museum! Craziness! Who would ever have thought that there were 300 museums in our little state? Who would have thought that one person could have visited … [Read more...]

Redscroll Records

DJ MacaDamian Nut Redscroll Records, Wallingford I know there are a few vinyl record shops that still exist around the state. Heck, I’ve already (sort of) profiled one in Vernon. And no, I think we agree that it is not part of this website’s mission to visit and chronicle them all. In fact, this will be the last … [Read more...]

Chapman Falls

Devilishly Handsome Chapman Falls, East Haddam I am all-too aware that my pictures of Chapman Falls are some of the weakest on the internet. I know that hundreds of people visit Devil's Hopyard State Park every day and take better pictures of these falls. I've been to the state park, one of the more popular … [Read more...]

Huntington State Park Bears!

... And Wolves Too Anna Hyatt Huntington Sculptures Redding For the uninitiated, I have been a big Stephen Colbert fan for many, many years. (I’ll admit, I no longer watch him now that he’s on CBS, but I was a devotee of his Comedy Central show.) He had a lot of recurring jokes, one of which centered around bears. … [Read more...]

Countryside Park & Covered Bridge

Might as Well Cover the Whole Countryside Countryside Park Covered Bridge, Avon July 2016 Little Countryside Park, tucked away in western Avon next to the larger Huckleberry Hill property, deserves its own separate identity. This occurred to me as I was looking for information on the covered bridge here and … [Read more...]

314. Naugatuck Historical Society Museum

Where "Giving Nauga a Noogie" Isn't Weird Naugatuck April 2, 2016 I rarely revisit museums. With so many hundreds of them around the state, it just isn't feasible. I often get emails informing me of a new exhibit at some long-ago visited museum, but what can I do? However, I will be revisiting the Naugatuck … [Read more...]

251. Moor’s Charity School Museum

Give. Me. Moor. Museums. Columbia (Google Maps location) June 7, 2013 Connecticut history superfans are surely aware of the mild controversy regarding the origins of the state's most famous university. There is some argument whether is started in Old Saybrook or Wethersfield... or perhaps Killingworth. Or maybe … [Read more...]

Filley Park

We've Had Our Fill Filley Park, Bloomfield April 2015 People probably incorrectly think there aren’t good areas to hike within the town of Bloomfield. They often don’t realize that a good chunk of the Metacomet Ridge is within the town’s western border. And yet, today, I’m writing a whole page dedicated to a tiny … [Read more...]

341. Carriage Barn Arts Center

Judgmental Bathrooms are Fun! New Canaan (Google Maps location) October 2, 2016 Most barns in Connecticut are decrepit and if they are filled with anything, they are filled with rotting old equipment. Or tobacco leaves. Barns are often seen as romantic relics of days gone by… but in some cases, especially in … [Read more...]

149. Mercy Gallery @ Richmond Art Center

Oh Mercy Me Windsor (Google Maps location) January 24, 2010 Even though I grew up in Delaware, which has a higher percentage of students attending private schools than any other state, the schools are just different up here in Connecticut. In fact, it seems that the entire private/prep school archetype is always … [Read more...]
