261. Twitchell-Rowland Homestead

March 25, 2014 by Steve Leave a Comment

Twitchy in the Twitchell Oxford (Google Maps location) March 16, 2014 I feel sort of lame writing up this museum. Why? Because they just got their museum going last year and it's super sparse and can only get better over time. But when you set out to visit every museum in a state with many hundreds of museums, … [Read more...]

Finnish-American Heritage Society Museum

September 22, 2013 by Steve 2 Comments

"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. Don't like it? How about this... You have to use the restroom really badly, so you're Russian. When … [Read more...]

Neil’s American Dream Museum (Closed)

August 4, 2013 by Steve 1 Comment

Neil Had a Dream West Hartford June 1, 2011 This museum is now closed as Neil has sadly passed away. RIP, buddy.

Glebe House Museum

July 16, 2013 by Steve 1 Comment

Glebe Glorp Gleep Woodbury (Google Maps location) June 18, 2011 At the time of my visit, Glebe House (it’s just Glebe House like Eurythmics) was a no photos museum. Therefore, my photos are horrible and nonsensical because they were all furtive. But the story here is not the bones or furniture of the house, but … [Read more...]

January 30, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

ArtKayak Hartford Public Library, Hartford (Google Maps location) January 8, 2013 I have a few pages that concern libraries here on CTMQ. More than a few, actually. Not all are about those which contain museums or museum-like places either. I’ll let you poke around and find others if you’re interested. Ah, … [Read more...]
