Plymouth Land Trust Trails Plymouth I don’t have any rational reason as to why, but as I write this before I’ve stepped foot on any Plymouth Land Trust trail, I’m pulling for them. I want their two little trails to be excellent. Perhaps because when I sought to pull this page together, part of me was like, … [Read more...]
300. Keeler Tavern Museum
I Can’t Keep an Even Keel, Because... Ridgefield (Google Maps location) September 12, 2015 2019 Update: A new visitor center has been added to this museum and barn and good for them! I Can’t Keep an Even Keel, Because... This was my 300th Connecticut museum! Craziness! Who would ever have thought that there … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Middlefield
Everything Middlefield I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Middlefield CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. … [Read more...]
The Legacy of the Dexters
There’s A Lot Going on Here Dexter Coffin and the Dexter Company Windsor Locks & East Windsor I drive over the Dexter D. Coffin, Sr. Bridge every day. Many of you probably do as well, whether you know it or not. It is the I-91 bridge that connects Windsor Locks to East Windsor across the Connecticut River. I’ve … [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...]
300th Museum Visit Celebration!
Trois Cent à Bernards September 2015 When I think back to the naïve beginnings of CTMQ back in the 2006-07 timeframe, I never thought I’d visit 300 museums in little ol’ Connecticut, the third smallest state in the country. It wasn’t because I thought I couldn’t do it, it was because the thought of 300 museums … [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...]
Cross Culture Kombucha
Snoochie Boochies Cross Culture Kombucha, Danbury November 2018 People who are into kombucha apparently call it "booch." I am not into kombucha, but I know a few people who swear by it. They tell me it tastes good and that it's good for their stomachs. Okay, fair enough. But anything I read about "booch" … [Read more...]
Hartford, Connecticut Mormon Temple
Okay Then Connecticut's Only Mormon Temple Farmington I have this personal idea that the newer the religion, the more absurd it seems. Like, Scientology is just completely ridiculous because the guy who made it up was alive during the same time many of you were. His books are public knowledge and his ideas were … [Read more...]

Everything New Milford I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state.
