This Place is WAC Westport (Google Maps location) March 26, 2016 I have this crazy idea that taking kids to art exhibits is good for them. I love asking my sons about certain paintings or photographs or sculptures. And I really love getting unexpected, funny, and/or introspective responses from them. A … [Read more...]
309. Powder Hill Dinosaur Park
"If The Shoe Fits, It Must Be From Footprints" Middlefield (Google Maps location) January 16, 2016 Of course this isn’t a museum. But we’re all past that issue on this website by now, aren’t we? I know I am... and really, isn’t that all that matters? Really? Heck, this postage stamp of a park hardly … [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.

242. Yale Center for British Art
Right, Then. Jolly Good. New Haven (Google Maps location) November 9, 2012 Spoiler Alert: When coupled with the neighboring Yale University Art Gallery, you simply can’t find a better day of art in Connecticut.

305. Harry C. Barnes Memorial Nature Center
Ain't No Party Like an Owl Party Bristol (Google Maps Location) November 22, 2015 You people have no idea. I have been waiting nearly ten years for this place to reopen. Not that I necessarily had high hopes for it or that I'm a huge Harry C. Barnes fan - it was more the principle of the thing. Back in … [Read more...]
299. The New Britain Police Museum
A Real Hard Hittin’ Museum New Britain (Google Maps location) August 8, 2015 I can’t even pretend this is a real museum. Keep in mind who just wrote that.

290. Bill Memorial Library Museum
Go For Daddy, Stay For Mummy Groton (Google Maps location) March 22, 2014 Groton has a bunch of museums, several of which draw visitors from outside of Connecticut and even southern New England.

287. Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts Galleries
Rhymes With Mons Venus Old Lyme (Google Maps location) March 7, 2015 Good ol' Lyme. I mean, Good Old Lyme... Or, good ol' Old Lyme. It's a lovely little town on the Sound with a very important place in art history. And art present. The town was where the Old Lyme Art Colony was formed - the first major … [Read more...]
282. Connecticut Cellar Savers Fire Museum
”Oh Fireman, There’s Somethin’ Smoking Hot On the Beach!” Portland (Google Maps location) November 29, 2014 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 kids, you may be familiar with the Out and … [Read more...]
279. Washington Art Association
Oh My Stars (Hollow)! Washington (Google Maps location) October 25, 2014 Have you ever been to Washington Depot? Like, specifically Washington Depot?
