Curling Is Not a Sport. There, I Said It. Norfolk Curling Club, Norfolk February 20, 2010 Note: Some jackasses burned down the curling shed in 2011. But it has risen from the ashes and is back open in late 2013! This makes me very happy. You are not really a fan of curling. Oh sure, you pretend to be during … [Read more...]
ASME: BF Clyde’s Cider Mill
ASME Landmark #181 (1898) BF Clyde's Steam Powered Cider Mill Stonington You very well may have stumbled onto this particular page about BF Clyde’s from one of the other entries around the website. After all, this place shows up on CTMQ in many lists – as a museum, as a cider (soft AND hard) mill, as the oldest … [Read more...]
C.H. Pease Museum of Natural History
May I Pease See Your Museum North Canaan (Google Maps Location) February 20, 2010 CT Museum #153 No one will complain about me writing too much about this little museum. That’s because I don’t have anything to say about it. There is no information online anywhere at all and the signage at the museum was … [Read more...]
Apple Pie at Beardsley’s Cider Mill
A Pretty, Crumby Pie Beardsley's Cider Mill, Shelton October 2009 I revisited in 2024 and it's much the same, except they've added a distillery in a separate building a few hundred yards away. It's called White Hills Distillery here's my visit. Ah, bliss. An October weekend in New England with a trip … [Read more...]
112. Livingston Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy
Duck, Duck, Emperor Goose Litchfield (Google Maps Location) June 7, 2009 People always ask me how I find stuff for my giant museum list. Short answer: Every which way you can imagine - and then some.

151. Lamothe’s Sugar House
Sweeeeeeet! Burlington (Google Maps Location) February 7, 2010 It just occurred to me that if I assume I go to about 600 museums in Connecticut when all is said and done - which is a fair assumption - I'm now about one quarter done. That took about 3.5 years so that means I'll be at this another 10 years or so. … [Read more...]
Winvian Farm
Our Day With Paolo From Rome. In a Helicopter. Swoon. Winvian Farm, Morris January 23, 2010 [2018 Update: This is definitely a place that deserves a revisit... if only because I really want to revisit this place and take much better/bigger pictures.] It is so incongruous to everything else surrounding it, and so … [Read more...]
126. Wilbur Cross Gallery (Gone)
No Need to Get Cross With Me Storrs/Mansfield (Google Maps Location) July 17, 2009 Please note that this was written in 2009 and that I am pretty sure this gallery no longer exists as it did back then. I spent four (and, ahem, a half, ahem) years and several tens of thousands of my father’s hard-earned money at … [Read more...]
Cato Corner Farm
The Cato Institute of Cheese Cato Corner Farm, Colchester August 2009 I should tell you all that I stop in at Cato pretty much every single time I travel down Route 2. This page is now ancient, and Cato Corner deserves better, but... such is the nature of CTMQ. As this page is so old, I can't pretend that … [Read more...]
