Too Big to Fail Hartford (Google Maps location) October 2009 Connecticut Museum Visit #142. Hm. Um. Uh-huh. Here in Connecticut there are only a few gigantor museums, so my experience thus far in blogging about them is scant. And I’m scared. Scared for a couple reasons, really… One, the sheer size and … [Read more...]
140. White Memorial Conservation Center Nature Museum
Stuff White People Like Litchfield (Google Maps location) October 3, 2009 Yet again, I’m forced to remind anyone reading this that there are plenty of things to do in Connecticut, year-round - and with kids. When people think of Litchfield, they almost universally think of the town green, the beautiful church … [Read more...]
PhotoSynthesis Gallery
Down the Dark Alleys of Manchester* PhotoSynthesis Gallery, Manchester November 2010 *Photosynthesis moved to East Hartford and I revisited, at bottom, in 2019. This was Connecticut museum visit #197. What a day. A surprise visit from EdHill, a hastily thrown together itinerary, A fairly well-behaved Damian, … [Read more...]
NNL: Dinosaur Trackway
National Natural Landmark Rocky Hill Designation Date: 1968 Of all the nearly 600 National Natural Landmarks, very few are singular items like this. In fact, this one may be the smallest Landmark in the country. I'm guessing it is. The tracks are preserved at Dinosaur State Park and Museum which has a lot more … [Read more...]
Wickham Park Nature Center & Aviary
Wick, Wick, Quack Wickham Park Nature Center & Aviary, Manchester (Location) September 2009 Connecticut museum visit #139.

Wickham Park is a non-profit, private foundation whose property extends into both … [Read more...]
199. Abbey of Regina Laudis Crèche
I’m Not a Prayer, I Just Crèche A Lot Bethlehem (Google Maps location) December 4, 2010 Thank you, thank you. I’ve had a lot of rather excellent titles over the years, but this may be my favorite. It just stinks that most people over the age of 50 or so won’t get the reference. Oh well; their loss. (Another … [Read more...]
Labyrinth at Wisdom House
The Truly Wise Just Walk to the Middle The Labyrinth at Wisdom House, Litchfield December 4, 2010 I’ve admitted before that I don’t really “get” labyrinths. (Here, where Damian, Damian’s plaid pants and I visit the Holy Family Retreat labyrinth in Farmington.) At least that one was pretty darn cool and had some … [Read more...]
198. Governor’s Residence
One Rell of a Good Time Hartford (Google Maps location) December 4, 2010 I’ve made mention before about how I get a little thrill out of getting to visit rarely open museums (or in this case, museum-like things). Each time I do feels like a big win for me. I’ve had the Governor’s Residence on my CTMQ radar for … [Read more...]
Time Machine Toy and Hobby
Lost in a Train of Thought Time Machine Toy and Hobby Manchester I’ve recently been going through old pictures I burned off onto CD’s to be sure I haven’t missed anything I meant to write about on the website. I figured that possibility was ludicrous as A) my memory is pretty darn good for this stuff and B) I’m a … [Read more...]
162. Westport History Museum
Oh, Like You Wouldn’t Kiss Paul Newman Westport (Google Maps location) April 10, 2010 Wow, the Westport Historical Society has done a bang-up job on their page about this small museum, adjacent to the much larger Wheeler House Museum across the small driveway. It’s almost like I don’t have to write anything myself … [Read more...]
