Where "Giving Nauga a Noogie" Isn't Weird Naugatuck April 2, 2016 I rarely revisit museums. With so many hundreds of them around the state, it just isn't feasible. I often get emails informing me of a new exhibit at some long-ago visited museum, but what can I do? However, I will be revisiting the Naugatuck … [Read more...]
The Florence Warren Latham Museum of Eastford History
Eastford’s “Inn” the Club! Eastford Google Maps location July 22, 2018 For the first 11 years of CTMQ’s existence, Eastford did not have a museum. The sparsely populated, relatively unknown town in Windham County was never expected to have a museum, but even so, the relative few museumless Connecticut towns make … [Read more...]
388. Harwinton Barn Museum
Barn To Do This Harwinton (Google Maps location) June 9, 2018 This is it, my friends! My final stop in Harwinton for CTMQ! I realize that doesn't make much sense to you reading this now, whenever now is, but just roll with it. Indulge me. And what better way to put a period on the end of my Harwinton … [Read more...]
The T.A. Hungerford Memorial Library and Museum
Never Lose That Museum Hunger Harwinton (Google Maps location) June 9, 2018 Regarding my title above... as I close in on 400 Connecticut museum visits, I’m happy to report that I have not “lost the hunger” to visit maybe 400 more. Absurd? You bet. But I’m still game. This often surprises those who know … [Read more...]
375. Unionville Museum
Kids These Days Farmington, (Google Maps location) March 4, 2018 I've thought about going to the Unionville Museum for years. Literally years. It's not far from my house and it is open fairly frequently. I figured it would be a quick visit and an easy check-off from my museum list. I was more right than I … [Read more...]
Durham Historical Society Museum
Derrr, Uhhhmm Durham (Google Maps location) September 2012 CT museum visit #239. 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 … [Read more...]
Stevens-Frisbie House
Served up on a Platter Cromwell, (Google Maps location) December 10, 2017 There are a distinct “museum seasons” in Connecticut.

228. Ruth Callander House Museum of Portland History
The Callander Says April Fools, But I’m Not Kidding Around Portland (Google Maps location) April 1, 2012 This is it, folks. I'm done. There are just far too many town history museums in historic houses in Connecticut. I quit. Checks "Callander" visit date... April Fools! C'mon, now. With our … [Read more...]
370. Aspinock Historical Society Museum
Nock, Nock, Who's There? Putnam (Google Maps location) August 13, 2017 Unless you live in Putnam, or have some deep ties to the town, I'll put it out there... you needn't visit the Aspinock Historical Society. I did, because I "had" to because eleven years ago I decided to start a blog for which I visit every … [Read more...]
Old Town Hall Museum
Shakin' All Over Enfield (Google Maps location) June 2017 CT museum visit #359. I am confident in saying that The Old Town Hall Museum is the crown jewel of Enfield. One could argue that the LEGO North American headquarters is the true gem in town, but it’s not exactly open to everyone... and moved to Boston … [Read more...]
