The Rockfall Files Middletown (Google Maps location) May 2011 Connecticut museum visit #204. Perhaps you're not old enough to remember the show that my title alludes to, but if not I have a slightly newer pop culture reference for a secondary title: "Trees Glorious Trees!" Remember those "Cheese, … [Read more...]
182. Wadsworth Mansion at Long Hill Estate
It’s a Lovely Building, For What That’s WadsWorth Middletown (Google Maps location) August 4, 2010 My visit to this place came at the end of a full day of traveling around central Connecticut for CTMQ.

181. CT Agricultural Experiment Station at Lockwood Farm
Feeeeeeeeed Meeeee Hamden (Google Maps location) August 4, 2010 Mark your calendars now for the first Wednesday of August. I don’t care in what year you are reading this, it still works. Heck, it’s been working for over 100 years. So I don’t see it stopping any time soon. This “museum” is only “open” (in … [Read more...]
Peter Greenwood Glass Blowing Studio
You Can Blow, But This Place Doesn’t Peter Greenwood Glass Blowing Studio, Barkhamsted (Google Maps location) February 2010 Connecticut museum visit #152. Wow. Where to begin? This place is sort of like three museums in one: A Riverton history museum, a world-class art gallery and a glass blowing … [Read more...]
210. Eolia (Harkness Mansion)
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, Glory be to this Museee-um! Waterford (Google Maps location) May 18, 2011 As I begin to write up this page I'm a little bit bothered by something. It’s stupid, and no one will care, but I can’t help it. You see, when I visited the Harkness Mansion I had to make a Sophie’s Choice: … [Read more...]
179. Marsh Botanical Garden Greenhouses
Not Just Marsh Plants New Haven (Google Maps location) August 4, 2010 I went to a lot of places on August 4, 2010. It was my one day per year I purposely take off from work in order to visit as many weekday-only joints and I was on the go all day. I went to a few places you wouldn't necessarily call museums, … [Read more...]

199. Abbey of Regina Laudis Crèche
I’m Not a Prayer, I Just Crèche A Lot Bethlehem (Google Maps location) December 4, 2010 Thank you, thank you. I’ve had a lot of rather excellent titles over the years, but this may be my favorite. It just stinks that most people over the age of 50 or so won’t get the reference. Oh well; their loss. (Another … [Read more...]
198. Governor’s Residence
One Rell of a Good Time Hartford (Google Maps location) December 4, 2010 I’ve made mention before about how I get a little thrill out of getting to visit rarely open museums (or in this case, museum-like things). Each time I do feels like a big win for me. I’ve had the Governor’s Residence on my CTMQ radar for … [Read more...]
174. ArtSpace Hartford
ArtSpaaaaaace Cowboys Hartford (Google Maps location) July 16, 2010 This would be one of the things you’re reading here on CTMQ because I recently (spring/summer 2010) expanded what my own definition of museum was to me.
