CTMQ’s Guide to North Stonington
Everything North Stonington I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state.

Killingworth’s Town Trails
Killingworth’s Town Trails What’s a killing worth? A lot to a bounty hunter assassin I suppose.

48.28 Kilometers 30 Mile Brewing Company, Old Saybrook March 2018 The brewery ceased operations in January 2022.

Killingworth Land Conservation Trust Intro
Killingworth Land Conservation Trust Killingworth is known to me as “the town I cut through to get to Madison.” Of course, Connecticut is often derided as the state one must cut through to get to New York or Boston.
