New England Muscle Bicycle Museum (Closed)
This Place is Bananas! Bloomfield (Closed) May 7, 2011 Since I can only assume you've all read the hundreds of other museum visit pages that I've written, I want to let you know at the outset here that this one will be a bit different than most of the others.

299. The New Britain Police Museum
A Real Hard Hittin’ Museum New Britain (Google Maps location) August 8, 2015 I can’t even pretend this is a real museum. Keep in mind who just wrote that.
