Ahhh-Churaevka! Gesundheit! Russian Village, Southbury April 2, 2011 I should be used to this by now. Finding out about something mildly interesting in Connecticut, going there, and learning it’s ten times cooler than I’d ever thought it would be. In the case of Churaevka, once I read up on the place after … [Read more...]

Rob Zombie’s House
I don't care about famous people. At all. Ask Hoang. Plenty of famous people live in Connecticut; far more than most people think. And since much of Connecticut is staid and decidedly un-hip, this sometimes leads to somewhat odd dichotomies. Like Rob Zombie living in Woodbury. As of 2022, I think he … [Read more...]
198. Governor’s Residence
One Rell of a Good Time Hartford (Google Maps location) December 4, 2010 I’ve made mention before about how I get a little thrill out of getting to visit rarely open museums (or in this case, museum-like things). Each time I do feels like a big win for me. I’ve had the Governor’s Residence on my CTMQ radar for … [Read more...]
Time Machine Toy and Hobby
Lost in a Train of Thought Time Machine Toy and Hobby Manchester I’ve recently been going through old pictures I burned off onto CD’s to be sure I haven’t missed anything I meant to write about on the website. I figured that possibility was ludicrous as A) my memory is pretty darn good for this stuff and B) I’m a … [Read more...]
Helen Keller’s House
Can’t Hardly See or Hear the Road From The House Easton A rarity: I sought out a house that does not appear on any list or any trail nor does it have a museum inside it. It is merely the house that Helen Keller lived in during her final years on this great blue marble called Earth. That’s all, nothing more. … [Read more...]
Pygmy Village
More Than a Little Stupid Pygmy Village, New Britain/Plainville You know it's a good page when there's an... Introduction I love junk like this. Every state has ‘em, really no more than another. I had them around me in northern Delaware/southeastern Pennsylvania – Satan Road (where the trees “grow … [Read more...]
151. Lamothe’s Sugar House
Sweeeeeeet! Burlington (Google Maps Location) February 7, 2010 It just occurred to me that if I assume I go to about 600 museums in Connecticut when all is said and done - which is a fair assumption - I'm now about one quarter done. That took about 3.5 years so that means I'll be at this another 10 years or so. … [Read more...]
Winvian Farm
Our Day With Paolo From Rome. In a Helicopter. Swoon. Winvian Farm, Morris January 23, 2010 [2018 Update: This is definitely a place that deserves a revisit... if only because I really want to revisit this place and take much better/bigger pictures.] It is so incongruous to everything else surrounding it, and so … [Read more...]
Old Litchfield Jail
Don’t Mind That Hole in the Wall Old Litchfield Jail, Litchfield January 23, 2010 The building became a fancy restaurant in 2020 and is also part of the Litchfield National Historic District. I’m proud of the fact that I have a lot of stuff on the site that serves to surprise readers. There are … [Read more...]
Aborn Castle
This Place Wasn't Just Aborn Yesterday Aborn Castle Somers Road (Rte 83), Ellington 2018 Update: You can now book a weekend at Aborn Castle and stay there! I had never planned to write a page about this place. But I’ve gotten emails about it, and I’ve seen it featured on a couple television shows. So here you … [Read more...]
