Everything North Haven I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” North Haven CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. … [Read more...]

Tidal Marsh Trail (Closed)
Target This Hike Tidal Marsh Trail, North Haven April 2019 Trail was closed due to "alarming levels of PCB contamination found on the land" in April 2024. I must admit that I didn't plan to target this hike behind Target. Calvin and I spent the bulk of the day in New Haven, but then ventured out here - to North … [Read more...]
BruRm @ BAR
Grazing the BAR BruRm @ BAR, New Haven April 2019 If you weren't reading a page about the horribly named BruRm @ BAR right now and I asked you, "hey, what's the longest running brewery under the same ownership in the same space in 2019 Connecticut?" what would you guess? Don't even front and tell me you'd say … [Read more...]
271. Connecticut Trolley Museum
A Desire Named Streetcar East Windsor (Google Maps location) June 14, 2014 The Connecticut Trolley Museum's current slogan is, "Where History Moves You." And I think that's pretty great. For me and my boys, that slogan only has literal meaning; that is, we took a 3-mile historic trolley ride through the wilds of … [Read more...]
North Haven’s Town Trails
North Haven's Town Trails Which Haven is the most forgotten Haven? Obviously not New Haven. When it comes to the three directional Havens, I'm going to suggest that North Haven is the least known. I don't really know why I suggest that other than the fact that East and West simply have more... stuff. And … [Read more...]
272. Connecticut Fire Museum
Stop, Drop, and Roll Into This Museum Connecticut Fire Museum, East Windsor (Google Maps location) June 14, 2014 There are a lot of fire museums in Connecticut. Way more than you think - ten.

Noble Jay Brewing Company (Closed)
No-bull Jay Noble Jay Brewing Company, East Lyme March 2019 Noble Jay closed in late the summer of 2020. I met Jesse Baldwin of Noble Jay Brewing in the summer of 2015. My man was hustling...

New England Air Museum
This Place is Fly New England Air Museum, Windsor Locks (Google Maps location) April 2012 The New England Air Museum (NEAM) is a monster. Easily one of Connecticut’s largest museums, writing up a visit is daunting. Writing up a visit with a tired and difficult Damian is impossible. So, dear readers, I’m sorry. … [Read more...]
Flaherty Field Trial Area
Horsefeathers Flaherty Field Trial Area, East Windsor April 2019 I know you are not going to hike here. And the chances that you'll come here to go hunting or field trialing or whatever are very slim. And the chances that I'll get through this page without mixing up "trail" and "trial" as a typo are even more … [Read more...]
Great Falls Brewing Company (Closed)
Great Hall From Fire Great Falls Brewing Co., North Canaan April 2019 Great Falls closed at the end of 2024. Just when a brewery opens in some sparsely populated far-flung Connecticut burg, it seems another one pops up in a smaller and farther-flung burg. I happen to love North Canaan and extreme northwestern … [Read more...]
