Connecticut Books, People, & Essays I probably shouldn’t have ever begun reading and writing about Connecticut books. It’s just one of those lists that I can’t possibly “finish” in any meaningful way. But that’s fine, I don’t mind. If you’re into books, I also review non-Connecticut hiking books and the Modern … [Read more...]
National Stuff
CTMQ is Going National! (Not Really.) People don't think Connecticut has any national "stuff." But we do. Heck, we finally have a (sort of) national park now with Coltsville National Historical Park in Hartford. We also have our National Champion collegiate sports teams and trees and pizza of course. But what … [Read more...]
Sports, Thrills, Cruises, Trains, Fairs, Parades, & Events
Sports, Theme & Adventure Parks, Carousels, Cruises, Trains, Trolleys, Fairs, Parades, Festivals, & Events This page is another catch-all; a listing of a bunch stuff around Connecticut that doesn’t really fit anywhere else. It’s the rare list that I don’t realistically think I’ll actually complete for differing … [Read more...]
Firsts, Onlies, Oldests, Largests, Longests, Mosts, Smallests, & Bests
Connecticut's Superlatives Connecticut has an amazing array of superlatives (firsts, oldests, tallests, largest, longests, onlies, and smallests) to its credit. You'll find these all over the site in the museum reports and elsewhere. Capturing them all on this page is an impossible task, so bear with me. Some … [Read more...]
Houses, Communities, Urban Legends, Lighthouses, Libraries, Schools, Businesses, & Theaters
Houses, Communities, Urban Legends, Lighthouses, Libraries, Schools, Businesses, & Theaters Hoo boy, this is a tough category to nail down. There’s just so much crossover with museums and superlatives and National Historic Landmarks and restaurants and other things. The way to look at everything listed below is … [Read more...]
Towers, Bridges, Forts, Tunnels, Roads, Canals, Dams, Fishways, Airports, & Ferries
Civil Engineering I don’t think I need to write an explanatory intro for this page. It is exactly what it says it is. And it's awesome. Jump down to: Observation Towers and Views Bridges, Covered and Otherwise Forts, Canals, Dams, Levees, & Fishways Highways, Roads & Tunnels Airports & Ferries … [Read more...]
Religion, Remembrances, Statuary, & Outdoor Art
All Things Religious, Cemeteries, Monuments, Plaques, Statuary, Greens, Labyrinths, Satan, Outdoor Sculpture & Art As you might expect from a state more or less founded Puritans, we have a lot of interesting things in Connecticut that are religious in nature. A bit of a jumble below, with lots of crossover to other … [Read more...]
Animals, Farms, Gardens, Plants, Trees, Rocks, Waterfalls, & Caves
Biology & Geology This is a big page with lots of stuff. Outdoor stuff. You won't find nature or Audubon centers here, as they are on the massive museums list. I'll let you sort out whatever else you're looking for. Animals (Aquaria, Zoos, Hatcheries, Wild & Weird Animals) Farms Worth Visiting Plants (Gardens, … [Read more...]
Geography
Connecticut Georgraphic Extremes, Oddities, and History Oh... And Islands of Note I've always been map-obsessed and I don't have to tell you that I love lists. So here's my own list of what I define as the interesting geographic points in Connecticut... and beyond. Jump to: Geographic Extremes Geographic … [Read more...]
Cultural, Heritage, & Historic Trails
This page is being updated in 2021! Sorry for the mess. Aren't you fancy for coming to this page. So cultured. Over the years, the state of Connecticut and other entities have created a few "trails" for people like us. I am aware of many more smaller town efforts, but I simply can't deal with them all. And I will … [Read more...]
