Not Just Marsh Plants New Haven (Google Maps location) August 4, 2010 I went to a lot of places on August 4, 2010. It was my one day per year I purposely take off from work in order to visit as many weekday-only joints and I was on the go all day. I went to a few places you wouldn't necessarily call museums, … [Read more...]
NHL: Othniel Charles Marsh House (Marsh Hall)
CT National Historic Landmark Marsh Hall 360 Prospect Street, New Haven I just got done writing up another New Haven NHL, the James Dwight Dana House. (CTMQ Visit here.) I claimed it to be my favorite one to learn about. I claimed too soon I think… Because I’m loving this Marsh guy. I already knew a bunch … [Read more...]
First Agricultural Station in US
In CAES You Didn't Know... CT Agricultural Experimental Station New Haven Some CTMQ readers may roll their eyes at this one, but you really shouldn't.

NHL: CT Agricultural Experimental Station
CT National Historic Landmark Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station 123 Huntington St, New Haven Yet another (sorta) Yale-New Haven associated National Historic Landmark that I could put on the "Historic science sites around town" tour. This one is a double whammy: Not only is it a National Historic … [Read more...]
NHL: James Dwight Dana House
CT National Historic Landmark James Dwight Dana House 24 Hillhouse Avenue Right around the corner from the last NHL, the oh-so-Queen Annish Russell Henry Chittendon House (CTMQ Visit here), is this Italianate beaut on Hillhouse Avenue.

158. Stepping Stones Museum for Children
Get to Stepping! Norwalk (Google Maps location) March 13, 2010 Go to enough children's museums and they all start running together in your memory. Of course, I can’t imagine many people would go to every children's museum in the state, so in reality, there’s nothing wrong with that. Especially if they are all … [Read more...]
NHL: Lafayette B. Mendel House
CT National Historic Landmark Lafayette B. Mendel House 18 Trumbull Street, New Haven I collected this NHL during a full day of CTMQ’ing in and around New Haven.

Charles Dow Birthplace
From Hell Hollow Road to Wall Street Charles Dow birthplace, Sterling Route 49 The funny thing about Sterling is that no one thinks of it as a sterling place. I rather enjoy it. I enjoy its anonymity and far-offness. I enjoy how parts of Sterling feel like Nebraska and other parts feel like Maine. I love that … [Read more...]
