I Can’t Keep an Even Keel, Because... Ridgefield (Google Maps location) September 12, 2015 2019 Update: A new visitor center has been added to this museum and barn and good for them!

389. Elton Tavern Museum
Little Pink Houses, For You and Me Burlington (Google Maps location) June 9, 2018 Very few, if any, of you have stopped to think about all the Connecticut museums you've driven by a million times and have never visited. It's a refrain I hear all the time when people email me or speak with me about CTMQ. And it's … [Read more...]
NHL: James Merrill House
CT National Historic Landmark James Merrill House 107 Water Street, Stonington (Museum) Since the Merrill house is a museum, and since I have had the pleasure of visiting it, this NHL page will be somewhat truncated. After all, you certainly should want to read about Merrill’s whole story and MY story of my, um, … [Read more...]
330. James Merrill House
Hello? Helloooooo? Stonington (Google Maps location) June 14, 2016 Stonington is one of Connecticut’s most beautiful towns. I love it myself. And Stonington Borough within Stonington?

381. Kellogg-Eddy House & Museum
In the Swirl of Historic House Museums... Newington, (Google Maps location) April 22, 2018 This historic house museum was the 381st Connecticut museum I have visited for the purposes of this very website.

239. Durham Historical Society Museum
Derrr, Uhhhmm Durham (Google Maps location) September 8, 2012 This is one of those (probably) totally (maybe) unfair "reviews" of an innocent little town history historical society museum. Note the date of my visit: 2012. So whenever you're reading this in the future, perhaps the Durham Historical Society … [Read more...]
Andrew Leete House
L337 H4x0r Andrew Leete House, Guilford September 2012 Now, normally this wouldn't rate enough for CTMQ. But - and this is a big but because I'm not totally sure of the history here - but, when this house is taken with several other sites around Connecticut, it makes sense to be here. That and I drove by once … [Read more...]
Regicide Cellar
No Cell Out Regicide Cellar, Guilford September 2012 Guilford has secrets. Of course, every town has secrets, but Guilford seems to have more than most towns. Granted, Regicide Cellar isn’t exactly a super exciting secret, but since you’re reading this, it must be at least mildly exciting to you. It’s mildly … [Read more...]

Served up on a Platter Cromwell, (Google Maps location) December 10, 2017 There are a distinct “museum seasons” in Connecticut.
