Goodwin Schoolhouse

June 24, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

It's a Bear of a Town East Hartford (Google Maps location) June 13, 2015 Good. You win. Winning is Good. And, somewhat oddly, there is more than one Goodwin school in East Hartford. And, to the best of my (20-second Googling) knowledge, none are historically related to the others. So if you’re here … [Read more...]

Canterbury Tales Canterbury (Google Maps location) June 8, 2019 There's a good chance that you are not familiar with Canterbury, Connecticut. And that's fine. I mean, it's not like it's home to one of the most important abolitionist educators that ever lived. Or was the birth - and final resting - place of the … [Read more...]

Iwo Jima/World War II Traveling Museum

June 4, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Catch the Trailer East Hartford (Transient) June 10, 2017 There's just something about catching up with a museum on wheels. Or one that pops up every few years in different places - like BioBlitz, which I also visited in East Hartford. I'm sure you all get the same thrill I do when the stars align and a visit to … [Read more...]

May 30, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Don't Judge My Haircut East Windsor (Google Maps location) August 12, 2017 These two tiny standalone museums are part of the larger East Windsor Historical Society Museum complex. There are two historic house museums, a farm tool museum, a schoolhouse museum, and the two that I've combined onto this one page. … [Read more...]

314. Naugatuck Historical Society Museum

November 11, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Where "Giving Nauga a Noogie" Isn't Weird Naugatuck April 2, 2016 I rarely revisit museums. With so many hundreds of them around the state, it just isn't feasible. I often get emails informing me of a new exhibit at some long-ago visited museum, but what can I do? However, I will be revisiting the Naugatuck … [Read more...]

The Florence Warren Latham Museum of Eastford History

September 11, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

Eastford’s “Inn” the Club! Eastford Google Maps location July 22, 2018 For the first 11 years of CTMQ’s existence, Eastford did not have a museum. The sparsely populated, relatively unknown town in Windham County was never expected to have a museum, but even so, the relative few museumless Connecticut towns make … [Read more...]

384. Woodbury Pewter Museum

July 5, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

Pew! Pew! Woodbury, (Google Maps location) June 2, 2018 I read pretty much anything and everything having to do with anything in Connecticut. That is pretty much my answer to the oft-asked question, “Steve, how do you create your thorough lists?” I don’t remember where I read that Woodbury Pewter calls a … [Read more...]

The T.A. Hungerford Memorial Library and Museum

June 29, 2018 by Steve 3 Comments

Never Lose That Museum Hunger Harwinton (Google Maps location) June 9, 2018 Regarding my title above... as I close in on 400 Connecticut museum visits, I’m happy to report that I have not “lost the hunger” to visit maybe 400 more. Absurd? You bet. But I’m still game. This often surprises those who know … [Read more...]

387. Harwinton Center Schoolhouse

June 14, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

HARdly Unique Harwinton (Google Maps location) June 9, 2018 Over the years of writing CTMQ, I’ve bored everyone to death about what defines a museum for me. I’ve never received push back on one-room schoolhouses, but I imagine some question them. Perhaps not so much their inclusion, but rather that I single them … [Read more...]

390. Center Schoolhouse (Burlington)

June 11, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Burlington's Piece of the Pi Burlington (Google Maps location) June 9, 2018 As I was making my way to Burlington’s one-room schoolhouse, a friend was mocking me for going to places, eating things, and visiting museums simply because it’s on one of my lists. I replied that I had already visited a one-room … [Read more...]
