"Tartia, Tartia, Tartia!" Tartia Falls, East of Middle Hampton April, 2017 Everyone loves a good roadside waterfall. We don’t really have too many worth your while in Connecticut, but this one bucks the trend. If you reach Tartia Road via Wopowog Road (or travel that route on your way out), don’t be … [Read more...]

Strong Family Farm
Their Strawberry Game is Strong Vernon June 2017 Through grants and efforts, the Strong Family Farm preserved some pastureland and added a trail as well. Yup, this is another one of those CTMQ pages that just sort of "exists." I learned about the Strong Family Farm via the CT Open House Day listing which said … [Read more...]
Keyhole Tunnel
Vernon’s Keyhole Tunnel Tunnel Road, Vernon I’ve driven through it dozens of times over the years and never gave it much thought. But now that I'm "completing" Vernon CTMQ-style, I figure I'll write about it. So, after going through it several more times while hitting every little trailed property in town, I … [Read more...]
Bakerwoods Farm (Closed)
It’s... Interesting Bakerwoods Farm, Ashford May 2017 Bakerwoods Farm permanently closed in 2021. Look, if you’ve been reading this site for a while you not only know the style in which I write, you also know my feelings about certain things. You should also know that almost all of what I write comes from a … [Read more...]
Talcott Ravine/Dobsonville Falls
Same Dam Falls Talcott Ravine Falls, Vernon May 2017 & June 2020 Sometime I disagree with Connecticut Waterfalls and its decision to exclude certain falls around the state. However, I agree with this one not making the final edit. Mostly because from what I can tell, it’s a fake falls. It’s merely a dam … [Read more...]
Talcott Ravine
No, Really! It’s a Real Ravine! Talcott Ravine, Vernon May 2017 This is a Northern Connecticut Land Trust property. Be honest with yourself; if someone said, “hey, let’s go check out that ravine in Vernon,” what would you think? You’d think that person is either lying, crazy, or both. Well, the ravine … [Read more...]
Sacred Heart Church (Gone)
The Cement Tent Sacred Heart Church Vernon The church was demolished in 2019. "This is why I love writing CTMQ." I've written that phrase many times over the years and it usually turns up on pages about little-known museums that turn out to be fantastic... or on pages of totally random, happened-upon … [Read more...]
American Woolen Company
Wake Up, Sheeple! American Woolen Company Stafford Springs I contacted American Woolen Company a couple times but never received a response. In fairness, I didn’t really pursue them because, well, when it comes to CTMQ articles, ones about moderately interesting businesses that don’t involve food or drink don’t … [Read more...]
New England Jukebox and Collectibles (Closed)
A Real Juke Joint New England Jukebox and Collectibles Vernon This store closed in the fall of 2021 and reopened as Paul's Boutique Records, which no longer has jukeboxes or pinball machines, and therefore is no longer CTMQ-worthy. Oh, and the new place closed in 2025 or so. So stop with your dumb comments at the … [Read more...]
CTMQ&A: Zack Adams of Fox Farm Brewery
CTMQ&A No. 3 Zack Adams, Owner and Brewer at Fox Farm Brewery April 2017 Farm Farm Brewery will open very soon on a leafy Salem backroad. The build out has gone as well as one could expect (read: some delays, but nothing too crazy) and as everyone that follows these things knows, it's beautiful. Set in a … [Read more...]
