Town Bridge

This Old Town (Bridge) Town Bridge, Canton The reconstructed bridge is open again as of late 2021. I'm not sure why I'm giving this old bridge a place on CTMQ. When I took the photos on this page I remember that I thought it was a cool bridge. Very old school. One lane and still operational. I think that at the … [Read more...]

Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park Intro

Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park Groton Most state parks in Connecticut offer at least a little bit of hiking. Those that don't, like this one, usually offer a ton of history. Fort Griswold was the site of the Battle of Groton Heights during the Revolutionary War. It was a brutal battle, even if it only … [Read more...]

Stratton Brook Covered Bridge

Strappin' Stratton Brook State Park, Simsbury There are more than a few pages featuring random covered bridges on this site.

Everytime I think that keeping up with this particular list for the site is dumb, I quickly jot off a page … [Read more...]

The Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge

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.

Keney Memorial Clock Tower

Keney Memorial Clock Tower Hartford 130 feet tall It is the rare list on CTMQ that I know I'll never "complete" in a way that feels complete. My list of towers, lookouts, and observation decks is one such list. Simply put, there are a lot of these things that are inaccessible. Which is a bummer. I have … [Read more...]

Thank you! Stephen Woods Lane, Durham I always find it fascinating when someone posts (yet another) “best road names in Connecticut” post on Reddit or facebook. It warms my heart to learn that people really do love wacky road names. I’ve maintained my list for years and I think I’ve got a fantastic list to “visit” … [Read more...]
