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.

CT National Historic Landmark Russell Henry Chittendon House, New Haven 83 Trumbull Street As you may know if you are actually reading this sentence, New Haven is a trove for National Historic Landmark buildings.

The Most Beautiful Bridge
Oh Yeah, Look at that Grade Separation! Most Beautiful Bridge for Grade Separation in 1972 Scott Hill Road, Lebanon Just when I think I've written about the most ridiculous thing to write about, I outdo myself.

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.

Sweet Pea Farm
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Sweet Pea Farm Cheese at House of Hayes Farm, North Granby November 21, 2010 Sometimes Hoang just wants to go for a ride. Since gas costs money and it’s really never a good idea to “just drive,” I take the time to plot a route and hit some CTMQ-worthy spots along the way. It had been a while … [Read more...]

A Hard Cheese is Good to Find… M&K Dairy, Ladies of Levita Road, Lebanon March 12, 2011 This place closed in... I have no idea. Let's guess 2015. … Oh, LeviTA Road, not LeviTRA Road. Oh well.
