263. Military Museum of Southern New England (RIP)

July 13, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Awww, Shoot! Danbury (RIP) May 24, 2014 Almost exactly one year before my family visited the Military Museum of Southern New England in Danbury, its founder was shot and killed by police at his Ridgefield home. About a year after our visit, the museum's name was changed to The U.S. Military Museum. And three … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Branford

July 12, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything Branford 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” Branford CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]

Branford Land Trust Trails

July 9, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Branford's Town & Land Trust Trails Oh man. There are only a few towns that leave me no choice but to combine different entities' trailed properties into one list. As you've guessed by now, Branford is one. And while this gives my list-OCD fits, this is a very good thing. Very good in that it's nice to see … [Read more...]

The Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge

July 9, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Drizzy Drake The Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge Simsbury I live pretty close to The Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge, so I've been passing by it for two decades. It's just part of my life. However, I'd never bothered to stop and take pictures of it, let alone creating a page on CTMQ dedicated to it. Then a few … [Read more...]

Let's Get Hoppin' Colonial Road to Bolton Notch State Park, 6.9 Miles Manchester, Vernon, Bolton, June 2020 Alright, let's get going with this thing. 20.2 miles of graded stone dust trail from the center of Manchester east to the Airline Trail in Windham.

406. Edward A. Card Photography Museum

July 6, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

Card Catalog Windham (Google Maps location) January 5, 2019 Okay procrastination, you've got me. You've got me good. Fortunately, very few people read the vast collection of CTMQ museum pages. Yeah, it's true. Even though this website began as a blog in 2006 chronicling my visits to Connecticut's wide and wild … [Read more...]

Salisbury’s Town Trails

July 2, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Salisbury's Town Trails I'm usually pretty confident in my lists. And y'all know I have lists. CTMQ is nothing more than me completing a billion different lists. The problem with this page is that Salisbury is one of the top hiking destinations in the state. And yet... finding a definitive list of those … [Read more...]

Salisbury Association Land Trust

July 1, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Salisbury Association Land Trust Salisbury I'll admit it. I've created over 100 of these land trust trails pages and this one has me slightly defeated. Perhaps I'm a bit fatigued... nah. It's just that some of these entities don't have the resources to create useful websites. So I have to go on a time-consuming … [Read more...]
