Back on the Cheney Gang, Yeah-eah eah Manchester (Google Maps location) June 9, 2012 I hate to admit the following, but I feel I must: I probably only experienced 70-80% of this museum.

Keeney Schoolhouse Museum
Keenish Manchester (Google Maps location) June 9, 2012 As I always do on Connecticut Open House days, I try to get to a few rarely open museums.

231. East Granby Historical Society Museum
Circle the Wagons and Check it Out East Granby (Google Maps location) June 9, 2012 I’ll be honest up front: The most interesting thing about this museum was not the museum at all, but learning that a trail connects the museum/town complex with the Metacomet Trail high up on the ridge to the west. The museum sits … [Read more...]
Imagine Nation
If I Ruled the World… Imagine That Imagine Nation Children's Museum, Bristol (Google Maps location) March 7, 2014 Post pandemic, Imagine Nation is no longer a self-guided museum.

261. Twitchell-Rowland Homestead
Twitchy in the Twitchell Oxford (Google Maps location) March 16, 2014 I feel sort of lame writing up this museum. Why?

But when you set out to visit every museum in a state with many hundreds of museums, … [Read more...]

Finnish-American Heritage Society Museum
"Imma Let You Finnish" Canterbury (Google Maps location) February 2013 While there is always a danger in using pop culture references in my titles, as they are fleeting things, I just couldn't resist this one.
