The Stone House (Deep River Historical Society)

November 9, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Ivory and Lace, In Their Rightful Place Deep River (Google Maps location) November 2015 As we Americans progress through the 21st century, some quarters are becoming "awoken" to things in their lives that have never been just or fair. We hear about "cancel culture" and all sorts of fake outrages fomented at the … [Read more...]

Connecticut Children’s Museum

October 26, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Goodnight, Moon. Goodnight, Fun. New Haven (Google Maps location) October 3, 2015 I don't know what's going on at this place. No, I don't mean I don't know what's going on with it at the time you're reading this, although it appears to have closed for the pandemic, which has no end, so I don't know if and … [Read more...]

Stony Creek Museum

October 18, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Let's Rock and Roll Branford (Google Maps location) October 3, 2015 My gosh this is a cute-looking little museum in the cute little Stony Creek section of Branford. What is this, a former church or something? Even the rainy day didn't dampen our spirits as we visited the Stony Creek Museum. A museum that … [Read more...]

Monument House Museum

October 11, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Deep House Beats Groton (Google Maps location) July 10, 2015 There's a lot going on at Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park. A pretty park on the bluffs above the Thames River with an important history, a climbable tower, a Connecticut Freedom Trail site, and a little museum. Let's be honest; not too many people … [Read more...]

Museum of Andover History

October 6, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

A True Yeomans Effort Andover (Google Maps location) September 2021 Yeo man, the Museum of Andover History is impressive. A true Yeomans effort. (Sorry, I could use that joke reference over and over Andover here. And that one too.) I think before we get going, I should mention that there's a man named … [Read more...]

Windsor Historical Society Museum

September 27, 2021 by Steve 2 Comments

The Windsor of Change Windsor (Google Maps location) September 2021 Let me first try to explain the slightly confusing aspect of the Windsor Historical Society. As they are responsible for telling the long history of Connecticut's oldest town (or second oldest to Wethersfield, who knows), they have to do it … [Read more...]

Vintage Radio & Communications Museum

Don't Give Me No Static 'Bout This Museum Windsor (Google Maps location) February 22, 2015 This museum is really cool, but do you want to know what the most interesting fact about it is? Of course you do. The building it is currently housed in, on Pierson Road in Windsor, is its sixth location since coming into … [Read more...]

Submarine Force Library and Museum

September 13, 2021 by Steve 1 Comment

Subs, Heroes, and Grinders Groton (Google Maps location) March 2015 When I posted my page about the USS Nautilus being a National Historic Landmark, someone told me that there was nothing to celebrate about nuclear submarines. It was likely a throwaway comment for that person, but it stuck with me for quite a … [Read more...]

Connecticut State Police Museum and Educational Center

September 7, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

An Arresting Museum Meriden (Google Maps location) February 28, 2015 I am good friends with several cops. Only one is a state policeman, and he's in Maryland. And actually, although I went to his (first) wedding and lived with him for a spell, we haven't spoken in well over a decade. Shout out to Tags. … [Read more...]

Ginning Up Excitement, to Cotton Favor Hamden (Google Maps location) December 2014 & November 2017 This museum is located in one of those awesome areas in Connecticut where an invested person could spend a lot of time. Edgerton Park, all the East Rock Trails, East Rock Brewing... Yale is just a few blocks south. … [Read more...]
