269. Highland Package Beer Can Museum
Yes I Can! Waterbury (Google Maps location) June 7, 2014 Some museums take hours to enjoy. Some take five minutes. The Beer Can Museum, located along the upper walls of the Highland Package Store in the Town Plot section of Waterbury would be the latter.

Keeney Schoolhouse Museum
Keenish Manchester (Google Maps location) June 9, 2012 As I always do on Connecticut Open House days, I try to get to a few rarely open museums.

Finnish-American Heritage Society Museum
"Imma Let You Finnish" Canterbury (Google Maps location) February 2013 While there is always a danger in using pop culture references in my titles, as they are fleeting things, I just couldn't resist this one.

Neil’s American Dream Museum (Closed)
Neil Had a Dream West Hartford June 1, 2011 This museum is now closed as Neil has sadly passed away. RIP, buddy.

211. Norwich Arts Center Gallery
EnABLING Forgery Norwich (Google Maps location) May 28, 2011 Have you ever driven around downtown Norwich? Of course you have if you've ever tried the "short cut" to the casinos thinking you'd just follow route 2 through town. Ha. It's a mess - a very oddly laid out mess. As we circled to and fro around the … [Read more...]
CT High School Coaches Assoc. Hall of Fame
I waited 5 years for this?! Hartford (Google Maps location) August 14, 2010 For the first time in 184 museums I'm at a loss for words. I really have nothing to say about the Connecticut High School Coaches Hall of Fame. Though shouldn't it be "Coaches'?" It's their Hall of Fame, right? But as you'll see in … [Read more...]
168. Hall Memorial Library Exhibits
All Hail Hallowed Hall at Hall Ellington (Google Maps location) May 19, 2010 Somewhere along the CTMQ way, after readers kept pushing me to check out various libraries around the state for various reasons, I finally began to poke around what they have to offer.
