Harwinton: Complete! The Landing Zone (Closed) Here's the list of everything I've done in Harwinton! I’m very excited to write this page. This is the eighth of what may ultimately be 169 town completion celebration pages! Yes, of course I am fully aware of how absurd that is. Send your condolences to my wife … [Read more...]
388. Harwinton Barn Museum
Barn To Do This Harwinton (Google Maps location) June 9, 2018 This is it, my friends! My final stop in Harwinton for CTMQ! I realize that doesn't make much sense to you reading this now, whenever now is, but just roll with it. Indulge me. And what better way to put a period on the end of my Harwinton … [Read more...]
The T.A. Hungerford Memorial Library and Museum
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. Absurd? You bet. But I’m still game. This often surprises those who know … [Read more...]
New England 50 Finest
NEFF The New England Fifty Finest Another rather ambitious peak-bagging list that I'd love to complete, but I think real life will make this one difficult. This is a rather unique list that doesn’t have too much overlap with other, more popular lists. The list comprises the 50 summits with the highest topographic … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Norfolk
Everything Norfolk 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” Norfolk CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. After all, that is the ultimate goal of … [Read more...]
Harwinton: Various & Sundry
Harwinton's Loose Ends June 2018 As I make my way through everything there is to do in Connecticut, I am faced with the fact that there are often things in towns that don't warrant their own CTMQ page but should still be highlighted. This is Harwinton: Various and Sundry. Harwinton's Unique Name The Sign … [Read more...]
North Stonington’s Town Trails Intro
North Stonington’s Town Trail NoSto. Finally. Finally a town nickname that makes sense. NoSto. I live in WeHa, and I hate that moniker. But I like NoSto. If only because “North Stonington” is the longest Connecticut town name and it gets annoying to type. As for trails in town, you’ve got some state … [Read more...]
Harwinton Recreation Trails/DEEP Western HQ
Going DEEP CT DEEP Western Headquarters/Harwinton Conservation Trails May 6, 2018 I’m going to do a rare thing here in Harwinton. I hiked all seven currently trailed properties on one (rainy) morning, so I’m going to sort of serialize the write-ups. If for some reason you want to start at the beginning, go here, … [Read more...]
Bunnell’s & Burlington Falls
A Little Burly, Bro Bunnell’s/Burlington Falls, Burlington June 2018 I don’t take pleasure in breaking the law. I’ve very rarely done so in my life and when I have, I’m talking about silly stuff like getting to these falls. To do so, I parked in a No Parking Tow Zone and then trespassed on New Britain Water … [Read more...]
387. Harwinton Center Schoolhouse
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. I’ve never received push back on one-room schoolhouses, but I imagine some question them. Perhaps not so much their inclusion, but rather that I single them … [Read more...]
