HAS: Lewis Farm

October 23, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Suffield HAS It! Lewis Farm, Suffield October 2017 Once in a while, I'll realize that certain things I've done for CTMQ are things that not many others have done.

Windsor Meadows State Park Windsor May 19, 2017 I certainly haven't been to every Connecticut state park or state park like entity (of which there are many), but I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that a day of combining Windsor Meadows and the Windsor Locks Canal Trail State Park a few miles north of this … [Read more...]
