McGuff Museum of Girl Scout History

Gurrrlll North Haven (Google Maps location) May 30, 2019 The best story from my visit to the McGuff Museum of Girl Scout History does not lie in the artifacts lovingly collected and placed for exhibit in the bowels of a large building in North Haven. No, the best story surrounds the fact that I, a 40-something … [Read more...]

412. Energize CT Center

Workin' It North Haven (Google Maps location) April 11, 2019 Not every museum in Connecticut presents itself upfront as a museum.

North Haven’s Town Trails

North Haven's Town Trails Which Haven is the most forgotten Haven? Obviously not New Haven. When it comes to the three directional Havens, I'm going to suggest that North Haven is the least known. I don't really know why I suggest that other than the fact that East and West simply have more... stuff. And … [Read more...]

Liuzzi’s Cheese

Mama Mia! Liuzzi’s Cheese, North Haven December 23, 2010 North Haven doesn’t have much representation on CTMQ. A few little museums and maybe a trail here and there. And there’s this: Liuzzi’s Cheese – which is really much, much more than just cheese – tucked away amidst some ugly industrial and office … [Read more...]
