Make No Bones About It... It's Back! Farmington (Google Maps Location) September 10, 2009 The waffling is over. I'm giving this place its own pedestal to stand on as a separate museum visit. Sure, the collection is pretty much a scaled down version of a previously visited museum, but I think it's important to … [Read more...]
128. Brookfield Nature Center and Rock Museum
Hellooooo Broooookfield! Brookfield (Google Maps Location) July 20, 2009 I'd recently been doing some hikes out in western Connecticut in the New Milford-Brookfield-Bridgewater area.

Lots of Damian Pictures... I'm Gonna Milk This One Storrs (Google Maps Location) July 17, 2009 UConn has a split personality.

85. Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library
You Can't Judge a Book - Or Building - By Its Cover Middletown (Google Maps Location) January 29, 2009 This is going to be annoying having to type Beinecke over and over throughout this post.
