This website began as Connecticut MuseumQuest in 2006 and only later became CTMQ. Regardless, museums were and are the core of what I do. And fortunately for all of us, Connecticut has a ton of museums - two tons if you define them loosely like I do. Also, see the CTMQ Town Guides: everything to do in the state … [Read more...]
Museums
Every Museum in Connecticut Circa 2000 onward This is it. The list that started it all. If you're looking for more than museums in a particular town, please check out the CTMQ Town Guides.

Weir Farm National Historical Park
First Impressions Are Everything Wilton & Ridgefield (Google Maps location) May 25, 2017 Weir Farm is a lot of things beyond being "just" a museum. It was Connecticut's only National Park(ish) for years and years until Coltsville in Hartford got its NHP designation more recently - but that still has a long way to … [Read more...]
Goodspeed Opera House
Swingin' Good Time East Haddam (Google Maps location) June 10, 2017 Iconic. From a national view, there are very few things that are truly iconic in Connecticut. Yale, New Haven pizza, Mark Twain's House, Mystic Seaport maybe... insurance? The Whalers logo for sure. Um, Greenwich wealth? CTMQ? But if … [Read more...]

Noden-Reed Museum
Windsor Locks'ed Down Windsor Locks, (Google Maps location) August 2022 On the surface, I live a pretty normal suburban married dad life. Minivan, yardwork, soccer games.

Edward V. Sabotka Civil War Museum
It's All About the Union Windsor Locks, (Google Maps location) October 29, 2017 Because I couldn't differentiate between Memorial Hall Museum and the Edward Sabotka Civil War Museum, I've combined the two but have published two separate pages. But I've given this page a brilliant title; it's a reference to The … [Read more...]
Memorial Hall Museum
Thanks For The Memories Windsor Locks, (Google Maps location) October 29, 2017 Because I couldn't differentiate between Memorial Hall Museum and the Edward Sobatka Civil War Museum, I've combined the two but have published two separate pages. Memorial Hall is a striking building, right in the center of Windsor … [Read more...]
ARRL Heritage Museum
Go Ahead, Ham it Up Newington (Google Maps location) August 18, 2016 Hoo boy. Here's a museum that I'm afraid I don't know much about. I clearly visited it. I clearly spent a good amount of time there. And I was clearly welcomed by the kind folks in Newington: Awwww *blushing*. That was very sweet. You … [Read more...]
