Town Bridge

Town Bridge

This Old Town (Bridge) Town Bridge Canton I'm not sure why I'm giving this old bridge a place on CTMQ. When I took the photos on this page I remember that I thought it was a cool bridge. Very old school. One lane and still operational. I think that at the time I thought, "there aren't too many one lane iron … [Read more...]

What is Wrong With Me? Carriage House Brewing, Canton This is the dumbest page on this whole website. Or one of them at least. I'm not even going to tell anyone I've written it.

CTMQ’s Guide to Canton

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

Canton’s Town Trails

Canton's Town Trails If you, like me, have always said to yourself, "boy, wouldn't it be interesting if Canton, Connecticut was named after Canton, China" but then dismissed that as a ridiculous idea, you'll be as surprised as I was at the Wikipedia page about Canton saying that this is indeed true. And the … [Read more...]

Tidal River Brewing Canton January 2016-October 2016 Ok, look. I don’t need to write up this page and if you’re reading this, you are among select company.

CLCT: Swan Preserve & Winsor Woods

Swan Preserve & Winsor Woods Canton Land Conservation Trust October & November 2015 Since the Canton Land Conservation Trust lumps these two trail networks together, so shall I. They are only a short drive away from each other (and a host to Simsbury Land Trust trails as well) and both traverse rather similar … [Read more...]

CLCT: Uplands Preserve Trails

Uplands Preserve Canton Land Conservation Trust July 30, 2014 95% of the time I write about hiking in Connecticut, I'm fairly effusive. Even when I hike and write about somewhat crappy trails, I usually find a silver lining and would encourage any and all to repeat the same hike. 5% of the time, however, I … [Read more...]

Roaring Brook Nature Center Cascades

I Knew a Girl at UConn Named Brooke and she was Loud Roaring Brook Nature Center Cascades, Canton October 22, 2013 I like a good waterfall that's not too far away from my house. Or at least where I find myself shopping and whatnot. Too bad the "falls" here at Roaring Brook are pretty weak. But to be fair, the … [Read more...]
