Connecticut River Viewpoint, Overlooking Chester-Hadlyme Ferry CT Art Trail Viewpoint Gillette Castle State Park, Lyme Even though I never found the actual Viewpoint sign, I'm going forward with this page. Maybe someday when I'm back in East Haddam Lyme and East Haddam to hike around the state park, I'll seek it … [Read more...]

Concept of Freedom Trail: Norwalk
Village Creek Neighborhood Dock Road, Outer Road & Split Rock Road I don’t know if it was because I had Hoang (and Damian) with me or what, but I found this entry onto the Freedom Trail list one of the most interesting. And that was before I got home and poked around some more to find out even more cool stuff … [Read more...]
Concept of Freedom Trail: New Haven (11)
Other than Farmington and Hartford, New Haven is Ground Zero for the Freedom Trail. Yale seems to have fed the progressive spirit, but it's also where the Amistad is moored (when its moored) and where the famous Amistad slave trial took place. Let's rock. 1. The People's Center 37 Howe Street Hi. It's … [Read more...]
Art Trail Viewpoint: Kent Falls
Kent Falls Viewpoint CT Art Trail Viewpoint Kent Falls State Park, Kent, November 2009 Here's the weird thing about this Connecticut Art Viewpoint Trail, side project of the Connecticut Art Trail: The chosen sites, while beautiful, don't all apparently directly translate to actual impressionist paintings from … [Read more...]
Concept of Freedom Trail: Windsor
Five Freedom Trail Sites Windsor I created this page in 2009, so it's very rudimentary - just like the Freedom Trail was back then. 1. Riverside Cemetery Located very near the Palisado Cemetery, which has a bit more history and panache than this one (see below), my visit to Riverside Cemetery was quick and … [Read more...]

Over the years, the state of Connecticut and other entities have created a few "trails" for people like us. There are a bunch that have … [Read more...]
Concept of Freedom Trail: Norfolk
James Mars Grave, Center Cemetery, Old Colony Road (off Route 272) My journey along the many sites of the Connecticut Freedom Trail has brought me to many interesting - and some not-so interesting - places around the state. This stop lies squarely in the former; James Mars was one cool guy. It was nice to … [Read more...]
Concept of Freedom Trail: North Canaan
Milo Freeland Grave, Hillside Cemetery, Route 44, East Canaan Hardcore CTMQ readers know I love the Northwest corner of the state. Norfolk, North Canaan, Colebrook, Salisbury... The towns that no one knows exist. In fact, I'd wager that Colebrook might be the least known town to Connecticut residents. Maybe … [Read more...]
URR Trail: Guilford
James Davis House (formerly known as Sachem Country House) 111 Goose Lane This one confuses me. It's super easy to find - right off of I-95 in Guilford. The address on all the Freedom Trail literature states 111 Goose Lane. At 111 Goose Lane, there is a huge sign stating, "111 Goose Lane." But then … [Read more...]
93. William Benton Museum of Art
A Real Bento(n) Box of a Museum Storrs February 25, 2009 The William Benton Museum is a Connecticut Art Trail site. I'd been to one of Yale's two large art museums and a couple smaller galleries at Wesleyan. I wondered how our state's flagship public university would stack up? Actually, I didn't wonder … [Read more...]
