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.
December 2022: 32 Towns “completed,” 137 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. My goal is to knock out 10 towns per year, which puts me on pace to “complete” Connecticut in 2034. Let’s add several years as a reality check and shoot for the nice round numbered year of 2040. CTMQ will be complete in 2040. There, I said it.

July 20, 2022 at 8:33 amHey 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.
