418. Ordway Gallery and AoF Sports Hall of Fame

Yeah... Gonna Hafta Do This the Ordway Avon (Google Maps location) May 19, 2019 I have a weird fascination with Connecticut's private boarding schools. One reason is their exorbitant costs; usually around $70,000/year when all is said and done. But mostly because many of them have remarkably interesting histories, … [Read more...]

338. Enfield Athletic Hall of Fame

EnField of Dreams Enfield (Google Maps location) December 7, 2016 Easiest punned title ever? Certainly one of them, yes. This is yet another little place on my massive list of museums that we all agree is not a museum. But as you now know, I don't care. I made the effort to go there (and it actually required … [Read more...]

184. CT High School Coaches Assoc. Hall of Fame

I waited 5 years for this?! Hartford (Google Maps location) August 14, 2010 For the first time in 184 museums I'm at a loss for words. I really have nothing to say about the Connecticut High School Coaches Hall of Fame. Though shouldn't it be "Coaches'?" It's their Hall of Fame, right? But as you'll see in … [Read more...]

167. Fairfield County Sports Hall of Fame

I Went Here Just to Make Fun of Bruce Jenner Stamford (Google Maps location) May 8, 2010 Note: The title and content of this page were all written well before Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn so I wasn't making fun of her for any of the gender stuff. Since the Connecticut Sports Hall of Fame disappeared* with the … [Read more...]

123. Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame

These Girls Done Good... For Girls Traveling Exhibit April 8, 2009 If you're paying close attention, you'll notice this visit is a bit out of order. That's because when I stumbled upon it at a writer's conference at Tunxis Community College (where I took in museum number 97), I didn't really think it warranted … [Read more...]

95. Middletown Sports Hall of Fame and Museum

Wesleyan Beer Pong Champion Huzzah! Middletown (Google Maps Location) March 16, 2009 Many towns in Connecticut have Sports Halls of Fame to honor their own heroes. The large majority of these are not worthy of this fine blog however, as they are merely a few plaques stuck on the wall of the town hall or Senior … [Read more...]

48. Connecticut Hall of Fame

Yay Connecticut! Hartford (Google Maps Location) May 12, 2008 Seriously. I could be accused of padding my museum visit numbers with this entry, but I'm not. While touring the State Capitol and the nearby Legislative Office Building (Way more interesting than it sounds) I was drawn and excited by a large sign … [Read more...]
