Cheney Hall
Silky Smooth Cheney Hall, Manchester (Location) January 2017 Connecticut museum visit #342. Long time readers are surely tired of me writing the following: Yes, I know, this isn’t a museum.

A Monumental Park Old Saybrook (Google Maps location) May 18, 2011 Here's the deal: This place isn't a museum and this page isn't going to get you to hop in your car and drive there.

299. The New Britain Police Museum
A Real Hard Hittin’ Museum New Britain (Google Maps location) August 8, 2015 I can’t even pretend this is a real museum. Keep in mind who just wrote that.
