HLT: Indian Meadow

"Completing" Harwinton... Again Harwinton Land Trust: Indian Meadow November 2020 Ah, Indian Meadow. Back in 2018 when I "completed" Harwinton, this property was my bugaboo.

Never Lose That Museum Hunger Harwinton (Google Maps location) June 9, 2018 Regarding my title above... as I close in on 400 Connecticut museum visits, I’m happy to report that I have not “lost the hunger” to visit maybe 400 more.

Harwinton: One of a Kind

HARping on HARwinton June 2018 Harwinton is the eighth Connecticut town I’ve “completed.” I try to always remember to use scare quotes, because rarely is a town truly complete.

HARdly Unique Harwinton (Google Maps location) June 9, 2018 Over the years of writing CTMQ, I’ve bored everyone to death about what defines a museum for me.
