406. Edward A. Card Photography Museum
Card Catalog Windham (Google Maps location) January 5, 2019 Okay procrastination, you've got me. You've got me good. Fortunately, very few people read the vast collection of CTMQ museum pages.

Sterling’s Town Trails
Sterling's Town Trails I'm sorry you've somehow found yourself on this page, for there are no Sterling-owned properties with trails as far as I know. If I'm wrong, please contact me or comment below.

CTMQ’s Guide to Sterling
Everything Sterling I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state.

266. Tourtellotte Memorial Room Museum
Nice $&^$! Museum... #$&$! Thompson (Google Maps location) May 28, 2014 I apologize for my crude title, but it's just very hard for me to say "Tourtellote" without thinking of Tourettes Syndrome.
