Visit 245. Mashantucket Pequot Museum

Miss January, 1547 Ledyard (Google Maps location) January 5, 2013 Without reservation, I can say this museum is one of the most well-presented museums in Connecticut.

Give. Me. Moor. Museums. Columbia (Google Maps location) June 7, 2013 Connecticut history superfans are surely aware of the mild controversy regarding the origins of the state's most famous university.

238. Quinnipiac Dawnland Museum

It Just Dawned on Me... Guilford (Google Maps location) September 8, 2012 At the time of my visit to this little one-man-show museum, I am fairly certain it was a standalone operation that just happened to be located at another museum - The Dudley Farm Museum.

NHL: Fort Shantok Archaeological District

CT National Historic Landmark Fort Shantok Archaeological District Massapeag Side Road, Montville I must ask up front... Should this be also categorized as an outdoor museum? A few years ago when I was working on my giant museum list, I apparently thought so. Then I (finally) found the place, spent some time here … [Read more...]

88. Wood Memorial Library and Museum

Fact Check: This Isn't Named After Me South Windsor (Google Maps Location) February 23, 2009 Weird. No, not the fact that a rarely open library has a museum that they advertise as a museum. What's weird is going somewhere named the Wood Memorial. Seeing as though my last name is Wood and I'm not dead … [Read more...]

430. Somers Mtn Museum of Natural History and Primitive Technology (RIP)

The Drumbeat of Death Somers RIP, 2000? (Last site update 1999) 2019 Update: No, this wasn’t the 430th museum I visited. It was actually the 63rd. But I decided to roll these post-closure “visits” into my general Museum Visits list so I have one less list to worry about. I figure with the defunct visits, it … [Read more...]
