Completed Towns & Celebrations

August 28, 2020 by Steve 2 Comments

Completely Nutsmeg

An astute reader once asked, “Hey Steve, how will you ever actually complete a Connecticut town?” What she meant was that new things open all the time. New breweries, new museums, new trails, new whatevers. And believe it or not, I sometimes learn of things that belong on a CTMQ list after I’ve “completed” a town. For shame.

January 2025: 38 Towns “completed,” 131 to go!

I do, of course, make the effort to circle back to those towns to experience those things I missed or that weren’t open yet. And keep in mind that “completing” on this site means I visit/do/experience everything AND write about it.

I will continue to march forward, attempting to “complete” Connecticut towns in the inimitable CTMQ style – and to celebrate those towns with a meal and a wrap-up post. This was always going to be a multi-decade, life-long pursuit. Thanks for following along with me!

    How about Windsor? OJ Thrall Farm that is growing all the fixins for breweries around the area. My son Corey works there.

    Hey Steve I live in the area of that Tree Grave you were ‘stumped’ on. Norwich Yantic Cemetery. Today I did a lap around the graveyard as I do and I tried to do research myself since I see it all the time. Keep you posted.
