Saugatuck Trail Intro

February 13, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Saugatuck Trail Easton to Weston, ~12 miles December 2007 - I completed the Saugatuck Trail in 2007 in just a couple of hours. Then CFPA extended in in 2018 and linked it up with the newer Aspetuck Trail. So now I have to write this introduction page because now I have to hike the trail in two part. But at … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Easton

July 3, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything Easton 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” Easton 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...]

Easton’s Town Trails

July 3, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Easton’s Town Trails What up, Easton? Can you hear me? Probably not, since the town seems to be infamous for poor cell service. What's weird about that is that despite the fact you can't find Easton on a map, it's bordered by the well-known and heavily populated Fairfield, Trumbull, and is mere feet from touching … [Read more...]

Aspetuck Land Trust Intro

April 28, 2014 by Steve Leave a Comment

Aspetuck Land Trust Bridgeport, Easton, Weston, Fairfield, Wilton & Westport Knowing what I know of Easton and Weston, I would certainly expect there to be a large and organized land trust there. There is pretty much no development in those two towns – which is wholly by writ and design. The archaic bylaws of … [Read more...]

160. Silverman’s Animal Farm

August 14, 2010 by Steve 1 Comment

Go Easton Young Man Easton (Google Maps location) April 10, 2010 For some unknown reason, I originally had this place written up as a non-museum and filed it away in the hinterlands of CTMQ. I don't know what I was thinking as this place (for our purposes) is a great little zoo (of sorts) to take your kids too. … [Read more...]

NHL: Ida Tarbell House

April 12, 2010 by Steve 10 Comments

Ida Tarbell House CT National Historic Landmark Easton (Private Residence) I really enjoyed this National Historic Landmark. For one thing, the drive to (and from) it through Easton is beautiful. (Seriously, we drove from this house over to Helen Keller’s house and it felt like we were in Maine or something), but … [Read more...]

Helen Keller’s House

April 12, 2010 by Steve 7 Comments

Can’t Hardly See or Hear the Road From The House Easton A rarity: I sought out a house that does not appear on any list or any trail nor does it have a museum inside it. It is merely the house that Helen Keller lived in during her final years on this great blue marble called Earth. That’s all, nothing more. … [Read more...]
