Lost in a Train of Thought Time Machine Toy and Hobby Manchester I’ve recently been going through old pictures I burned off onto CD’s to be sure I haven’t missed anything I meant to write about on the blog. I figured that possibility was ludicrous as A) my memory is pretty darn good for this stuff and B) I’m a … [Read more...]
162. Westport History Museum
Oh, Like You Wouldn’t Kiss Paul Newman Westport (Google Maps location) April 10, 2010 Wow, the Westport Historical Society has done a bang-up job on their page about this small museum, adjacent to the much larger Wheeler House Museum across the small driveway. It’s almost like I don’t have to write anything myself … [Read more...]
161. Westport Museum For History & Culture at The Wheeler House
Modern History: Excellent! Westport (Google Maps location) April 10, 2010 In 2019, the Westport Historical Society changed their name and the names of their museums to all fall under "Westport Museum For History & Culture." This may sound impossibly odd to anyone familiar with CTMQ reading this, but I don’t … [Read more...]
Hot Dogs at JK’s Original (Closed)
I Got Me a Nice Wiener (J/K) 126 South St, Danbury After nearly 100 years, JK's Closed in October 2022. The Roadfood hot dog slog continues… So. Many. Hot dogs. Going to 700 museums and hiking 100's and 100's of miles of trails in Connecticut seems easy in comparison. But I signed up for this and I will see it … [Read more...]
170. Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center
PequotsePossibly a Bit Too Expensive Stonington (Google Maps location) May 22, 2010 There are maybe 25 or so nature centers around the state and they are all pretty much the same. I’m not saying that as a knock on them, as I love each and every one. Some are certainly better than others, of course, and the … [Read more...]
Elizabeth Park Gardens
‘Lizbeth?! I’m Comin! This the Big One! Elizabeth Park Tour, Hartford/West Hartford June 5, 2010 I finally did something on an impossibly hot day that everyone in the Hartford area should do at least once: Took the History Tour of Elizabeth Park. You’ve all been there. You’ve toured the rose garden and walked … [Read more...]
Sherwood Island State Park Intro
Sherwood Island State Park Westport I know it says "intro" above, but this page is more of an "intro and long-winded history" of Sherwood Island State Park. And that's fine, right? If you're looking for something specific though, perhaps these other pages I wrote will help: Sherwood Island Trails Sherwood … [Read more...]
The Golden Age of Trucking Museum (Closed)
The Golden Age… Those Were the Days… Middlebury July 10, 2010 CT Museum Visit #173, just before it closed in July of 2010. This is a terrible writing assignment. What should be a fun museum report is now a eulogy. Worse, I knew I’d be faced with this situation even before I visited the Golden Age of … [Read more...]
Ice Cream at Dr. Mike’s (Bethel)
Doctor, Doctor, Gimme the Ice Cream (Pt 2) Dr. Mike's, Bethel September 2010 (Don’t expect too much different here from the other Dr. Mike’s entry if you’ve read that one - from our visit to their Monroe location.) I thought it was a good idea to hit up both Dr. Mike’s locations. My reasoning was simple: … [Read more...]
169. Young at Heart Doll Shop and Museum (RIP)
Dollpocalypse Now Preston (Google Maps location) May 22, 2010 The lovely proprietor was going to close in 2014... but didn't. But at some point in 2018 or 2019, they did close permanently. These are the museum visits I love. My journey to get inside this place was a multi-year, nearly quit-upon saga. … [Read more...]
