CTMQ’s Guide to Lyme

October 19, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

Everything Lyme

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” Lyme CTMQ-style… as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. After all, that is the ultimate goal of CTMQ.

What do you know about the town most famous for having a tick-borne disease named – actually, that would be infamous and I think the first Lyme Disease cases diagnosed as such came from Old Lyme, not Lyme… but still, that’s what Lyme is most famous for. You can scroll down for my list of things to do in town. Or, as always, you can click on the town’s tag to see what I’ve done.

If I’ve missed anything in town or if anything has closed or changed, please let me know.
