Moses Cle(a)veland of Canterbury

Cleaved Moses Cleaveland's Birth and Grave Sites Canterbury Cleveland. The “Mistake by the Lake.” Always the butt of jokes. So much so that Connecticut makes fun of it. That’s when you know you have an identity problem. It goes beyond the Cuyahoga River being on fire and the perennial ineptitude of the Browns and … [Read more...]

Shaker Cemetery

The Ol' No Sex, No Money Play Shaker Cemetery Memorial Enfield I’ve written about the Shaker community that existed in Enfield in years past. Their former community, now a prison complex, is a national historic trail and their existence is always a big part of local history museum displays. Why? Because the … [Read more...]

Concept of Freedom Trail: Putnam

Thomas Taylor Gravesite Grove St Cemetery, Putnam True story... although I have a feeling I could totally lie on this page. I don't imagine too many read these Freedom Trail posts. Especially ones about graves out in Putnam. Anyway, my true story is that I totally forgot I "visited" this site in May of … [Read more...]

Lucas Douglass’s Grave

The Extra ‘s’ Makes it More Special. Or Funnier. Lucas Douglass’s Monument to Himself December 2016 Avid CTMQ readers know that I’m not a cemetery guy. But you also know that there are several interesting cemeteries around the state. And within some of them, there are uniquely fascinating stories. Like the … [Read more...]

Concept of Freedom Trail: Trumbull

Nero Hawley Grave Riverside Cemetery, Daniel’s Farm Road Not that anyone will ever read this page, but I still feel the need to point out that of all the museums and trails and breweries and “stuff,” on this website, there are very few – if any – that I’ve planned to visit, yet haven’t – than this … [Read more...]

Giant Tree Grave

I'm Stumped on this One Giant Tree Grave Yantic Cemetery, Norwich Long time readers know that I’m not a cemetery guy. I’ve limited my pages about them as A) I don’t find them super compelling, B) It just opens up a whole world of stuff I’m not prepared to deal with on CTMQ and C) there are plenty of other blogs … [Read more...]

URR Trail: Norwich

David Ruggles Gravesite Yantic Cemetery, Lafayette and Williams Streets Holy cow. As I set my fingers to keyboard and get ready to write a short page about this Underground Railroad site, I just realized this is the next to last of the current 29 UR sites for me to visit! I didn’t even know. Pardon my lack … [Read more...]

Concept of Freedom Trail: Milford (2)

There are two stops along the Freedom Trail in Milford. They aren’t too far off the messy I-95/Route 1/Merritt Connector thing interchange. But this is Milford – the ONLY town in Connecticut where I have been legitimately lost to the point of yelling in frustration. The central part of the town was apparently laid out … [Read more...]

NHL: Fort Shantok Archaeological District

CT National Historic Landmark Fort Shantok Archaeological District Massapeag Side Road, Montville I must ask up front... Should this be also categorized as an outdoor museum? A few years ago when I was working on my giant museum list, I apparently thought so. Then I (finally) found the place, spent some time here … [Read more...]

Concept of Freedom Trail: East Haddam

Venture Smith Grave, First Church Cemetery Route 151 You know what’s weird? Without planning it, I am putting this page together immediately after my page on Henry Obookiah’s resting place up in Cornwall. What’s strange about that is that both Venture Smith and Henry Obookiah were brought to New England as kids … [Read more...]
