Hilltop Farm

January 9, 2012 by Steve 1 Comment

To Top off Vacation Week Hilltop Farm, Suffield September 2010 Arrgh! This is (yet another) one of the pages on this website that make me crazy when it comes to placement. It’s not a museum, but it’s so much more than a farm and has such an interesting history – and future potential – that its borderline. This … [Read more...]

172. King House Museum

October 26, 2011 by Steve Leave a Comment

My Day with the King of Suffield Suffield (Google Maps location) June 9, 2010 Two years prior to my King House visit, I was nearby along the beautiful route 75 in Suffield at another historic house museum, the Phelps-Hatheway Museum (my visit here), and I think it was only then that I learned of the King House … [Read more...]

Bears! In the Wild

May 10, 2011 by Steve Leave a Comment

This page has become sort of ridiculous, now that we have bears in our yard and neighborhood fairly frequently. But hey, it’s still different when I see them out on a hike, right? Right. Suffield Land Conservancy (SLC): Sydney F. Fuller Wildlife Preserve November 2017 I came across a mom and her two cubs... … [Read more...]

Site of the First Cigar Factory in US

June 16, 2010 by Steve 2 Comments

Calm Down... Exhale... Site of the First Cigar Factory in the US 1073 Ratley Road, West Suffield At the very, very end of a wonderful tour of the King House Museum in Suffield, back in the cramped little tobacco history section of the house (Suffield has a rather important role in Connecticut tobacco production), … [Read more...]

The Longmeadow Baby Jog

December 9, 2009 by Steve 9 Comments

I Like How They Have a Border Fence Suffield/Enfield, CT/Longmeadow, MA border November 30, 2009 I made up the name of this border anomaly, but I figure I have the right to do so, since no one has bothered to do it before. And keeping with the tradition of the Southwick Jog, a much more infamous border dispute … [Read more...]

78. Phelps-Hatheway House Museum

February 19, 2009 by Steve 7 Comments

I Saw Anne Hatheway's Underwear Drawer! Suffield (Google Maps location) October 13, 2008 This is embarrassing. On many levels. First, some background: Way back at CTMQ museum number 4, the Butler-McCook House Museum, I was admonished for attempting to take pictures inside the house. The house is owned by … [Read more...]

The Southwick Jog

October 17, 2008 by Steve 53 Comments

TAKE BACK THE NOTCH! The Southwick Jog, Southwick, "Massachusetts" October 17, 2008 2017 Update: I just came back to this page and it occurred to me that I've never edited it or made it more current or anything. (Sorry, I can't improve/enlarge the pictures.) Which is pretty lame of me, considering this is easily … [Read more...]
