CT National Historic Landmark Connecticut Hall Old Campus, New Haven This building is so old and so special and so important, it doesn’t have a real street address. No matter where I look, it’s address is always simply “Old Campus.” Such is the power of Yale. (If curious, it is in the cluster of Yale buildings … [Read more...]

NHL: New Haven Green Historic District
CT National Historic Landmark New Haven Green Historic District Bounded by Chapel, College, Elm, and Church Streets, New Haven This write-up has plagued me for a little while. I just hate these “district” designations, as they encompass far too much for my little brain to process. There are two others on the … [Read more...]
Elizabeth Park Gardens
‘Lizbeth?! I’m Comin! This the Big One! Elizabeth Park Tour, Hartford/West Hartford June 5, 2010 I finally did something on an impossibly hot day that everyone in the Hartford area should do at least once: Took the History Tour of Elizabeth Park. You’ve all been there. You’ve toured the rose garden and walked … [Read more...]
Sherwood Island State Park Intro
Sherwood Island State Park Westport I know it says "intro" above, but this page is more of an "intro and long-winded history" of Sherwood Island State Park. And that's fine, right? If you're looking for something specific though, perhaps these other pages I wrote will help: Sherwood Island Trails Sherwood … [Read more...]
Haystack Mountain State Park
Haystack Mountain State Park Norfolk October 2010 [There are other Haystack Mountain pages if you're interested in more.] One way in which I may differ from you: After a somewhat difficult hike out in the Catskills and a two-plus hour drive back towards home, I decided on a whim to climb another mountain. Why … [Read more...]
173. The Golden Age of Trucking Museum (RIP)
The Golden Age… Those Were the Days… Middlebury July 10, 2010 Closed July 2010 This is a terrible writing assignment. What should be a fun museum report is now a eulogy. Worse, I knew I’d be faced with this situation even before I visited the Golden Age of Trucking Museum – and I couldn’t do anything about … [Read more...]
URR Trail: Wilton
The Ovals 36 Seeley Road This house is HUGE - but this is the best I could do for a picture, as it's a private residence. From Wilton's town website: During the years prior to the Civil War, the antislavery movement was strong in town, and Wilton served as one of the stops on the Underground Railroad, a … [Read more...]
NHL: Grove Street Cemetery
CT National Historic Landmark Grove Street Cemetery 227 Grove Street, New Haven If you’re really into National Historic Landmarks of Connecticut and you’re going through all 60+ one-by-one, settle in; for this is merely the first of 9 in New Haven. To put that in perspective, New Haven represents but 0.6% of … [Read more...]
NHL: Stephen Mather House
Stephen Tyng Mather House CT National Historic Landmark 19 Stephen Mather Road, Darien As Hoang knows all too painfully well and many of you probably assume, a drive across Connecticut to a completely non-CTMQ event simply must include at least one quick little CTMQ-something. Otherwise, it just wouldn’t be … [Read more...]
160. Silverman’s Animal Farm
Go Easton Young Man Easton (Google Maps location) April 10, 2010 For some unknown reason, I originally had this place written up as a non-museum and filed it away in the hinterlands of CTMQ. I don't know what I was thinking as this place (for our purposes) is a great little zoo (of sorts) to take your kids too. … [Read more...]
