Shouldn't It Be Called "Viewblein Tower?" Simsbury (Google Maps Location, even though you must hike to it.) October 21, 2007 Yes, there really is a little museum in the tower. I don't know (yet) but I'm guessing this may be the most physically inaccessible museum in the state, seeing as though it requires an … [Read more...]

Stanley-Whitman House Museum
Well, I Got Some Free Pie! Farmington (Google Maps Location) September 29, 2007 The Stanley-Whitman House is a National Historic Landmark and is also on the Connecticut Historic Gardens Trail. This is it. It took me 32 museums and probably 100 CTMQ write-ups altogether to get to this point - and let me … [Read more...]
CRRA Trash Museum (Closed)
Hey! Don't Trash This Museum! Hartford (Google Maps Location) September 27, 2007 This museum closed in the summer of 2016. I'm often asked where my love of writing came from. My answer is always the same - "I have no idea." I have a much easier time answering where my love of travel and exploration came from … [Read more...]
The Peoples State Forest Nature Museum
Everybody Must Get Stoned... Barkhamsted (Google Maps Location) September 2007 Yes, even little Damian.

Ballard Institute & Museum of Puppetry
You Must Be Pulling My String Mansfield (Google Maps Location) August 25, 2007 Since my original visit, the museum moved from its original location at the old Mansfield Training School to a new building in the new "downtown" part of the UConn campus. But the old location was a big part of the original page, so I'm … [Read more...]
River Valley Junction
Every Witch Way But Caboose Essex (Google Maps Location) October 11, 2007 [2014 Update: I've changed the name of this place in the title because it seems as though the Essex Steam Train folks have settled on this name. There's a new - in 2008 - art gallery in the building that wasn't there during our 2007 … [Read more...]
Special Joys Doll & Toy Museum (Closed)
Dolly IS A Cracker Coventry (Google Maps Location) August 25, 2007 This post is only about the doll shop/museum and NOT the Bed and Breakfast. Also, at some point the proprietors stopped billing this place as a museum - see bottom. "You're going to 'The Pink Building'?" "Yup." "Ah-hahahhaha... That's … [Read more...]
Connecticut Firemen’s Historical Society Museum
C'mon Cheney Light My Fire! Manchester (Google Maps Location) August 2007 "Fire!" Just kidding - but it's okay to shout fire in an uncrowded website. Trust me. "Fire!" See? Nothing happens. But something IS happening in Manchester at the Cheney ("Cheenee") Fire Museum; something very good. World famous … [Read more...]
Old Manchester Museum
A Text(ile)Book Town Museum Manchester (Google Maps Location) August 25, 2007 This museum is part of the Cheney Brothers National Historic Landmark.
