Holley Crap, It’s Closed Salisbury The worst part about this closure is that it may have taken out not just the one historic house museum, but also the random Salisbury Cannon Museum which I believe was housed at the same spot. I hold out hope that the Cannon Museum will reappear elsewhere in town, as Salisbury’s … [Read more...]

175. Sherwood Island State Park Nature Center
Wanna Go to the Nature Center? I Sher Wood! Westport (Google Maps location) July 18, 2010 CTMQ's Sherwood Island State Park Intro I purposely waited until autumn to write about Sherwood Island. I figure that anyone looking for a very clean, uncrowded and very pretty beach in Connecticut won’t find this now … [Read more...]
The Golden Age of Trucking Museum (Closed)
The Golden Age… Those Were the Days… Middlebury July 10, 2010 CT Museum Visit #173, just before it closed in July of 2010. This is a terrible writing assignment. What should be a fun museum report is now a eulogy. Worse, I knew I’d be faced with this situation even before I visited the Golden Age of … [Read more...]
CT High School Coaches Assoc. Hall of Fame
I waited 5 years for this?! Hartford (Google Maps location) August 14, 2010 For the first time in 184 museums I'm at a loss for words. I really have nothing to say about the Connecticut High School Coaches Hall of Fame. Though shouldn't it be "Coaches'?" It's their Hall of Fame, right? But as you'll see in … [Read more...]
169. Young at Heart Doll Shop and Museum (RIP)
Dollpocalypse Now Preston (Google Maps location) May 22, 2010 The lovely proprietor was going to close in 2014... but didn't. But at some point in 2018 or 2019, they did close permanently. These are the museum visits I love. My journey to get inside this place was a multi-year, nearly quit-upon saga. … [Read more...]
160. Silverman’s Animal Farm
Go Easton Young Man Easton (Google Maps location) April 10, 2010 For some unknown reason, I originally had this place written up as a non-museum and filed it away in the hinterlands of CTMQ. I don't know what I was thinking as this place (for our purposes) is a great little zoo (of sorts) to take your kids too. … [Read more...]

ArtPlace at Yale Physician’s Building
You Need Guts to Go Here… Um, No You Don’t New Haven (Google Maps location) August 2010 Connecticut museum visit #177. I'm not sure how much the School promotes this anymore, but from what I can find, they do still have rotating exhibits. However, this isn't something I would consider a "museum" to visit and … [Read more...]
Real Art Ways
Kevin Van Ael-some Hartford (Google Maps location) August 5, 2010 I’m a lucky dude. No, not only because I’m so gosh-darn handsome, but also because I get to meet a lot of really cool and talented people along the CTMQ-way. Sure, I’ve been on the teevee and in several newspapers and magazines, but it’s still … [Read more...]
176. Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism Gallery
What's the Real Mission of This Commission? Hartford (Google Maps location - Welcome to Hartford. We don't do "addresses" at Const. Plaza) July 28, 2010 I've now been to two exhibits at the CCT gallery in downtown Hartford and both have been very well curated and absolutely interesting. I cannot be more positive … [Read more...]
