The Oldest Seed Company in the US
Wethersfield, You Reap What You Sow Comstock, Ferre & Company, Wethersfield April 14, 2009 I'm not sure they can call themselves "continuously operating" anymore because the store did close in 2009.

Labyrinth at Holy Family
I'll See Ya Around... And Around... And Around... The Labyrinth at Holy Family Retreat, Farmington April 10, 2009 This is one of the posts for which I wish I used larger format pictures back in 2009.

Hauntings in Connecticut
Hello. So glad you came to this page. It is unfortunate that some of our most venerable museums have resorted to promoting ghost stories and other such clap trap in an effort to gain attention and ultimately, the elusive dollar.

Crying Fowl West Hartford(Google Maps Location) Multiple Visits 2019 Update: This page is a bit... old. The pictures are bad and poorly formatted, but you'll get the gist.

Beardsley Zoo
OceLotta Fun! Bridgeport (Google Maps Location) September 20, 2008 Connecticut only has one zoo, thankfully. You see, Hoang and I do have ethical issues with zoos - especially ones that don't go full bore trying to best replicate the animals' natural environs.
