Everything Tolland 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” Tolland CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]

2nd Lt. Vincent H. Core Memorial
Just Plane Interesting Lt. Vincent H. Core Memorial Memorial Town Forest, Farmington We Nutmeggers have a penchant for memorializing somewhat random people, places, and things around the state. I revel in finding these things and writing about them. The Lt. Core Memorial in the middle of the woods in … [Read more...]
Farmington Memorial Town Forest
Getting to the Core of Things Memorial Town Forest Trails, Farmington February 4, 2018 I wrote this opening salvo on my Suburban Park Trails page: Farmington does this really great thing – beyond just preserving lots of greenspace. They seem to like to keep historic remnants of days gone by. You know, like the … [Read more...]

Suburban Park Trails
Going Sub-Suburban Suburban Park Trails, Farmington January 28, 2018 Farmington does this really great thing – beyond just preserving lots of greenspace. They seem to like to keep historic remnants of days gone by. You know, like the creepy old zoo off of route 6. And here, at Suburban Park. I forced the … [Read more...]

Durham Historical Society Museum
Derrr, Uhhhmm Durham (Google Maps location) September 2012 CT museum visit #239. This is one of those (probably) totally (maybe) unfair "reviews" of an innocent little town history historical society museum. Note the date of my visit: 2012. So whenever you're reading this in the future, perhaps the … [Read more...]

Hill-Stead Trails
Hill-Stead, Not Hill Farmstead Hill-Stead Trails, Farmington January 21, 2018 Hill-Stead is a great museum. Top notch. One of the best.

Andrew Leete House
L337 H4x0r Andrew Leete House, Guilford September 2012 Now, normally this wouldn't rate enough for CTMQ. But - and this is a big but because I'm not totally sure of the history here - but, when this house is taken with several other sites around Connecticut, it makes sense to be here. That and I drove by once … [Read more...]
