This Lake is no Bantam Weight Bantam Lake, Litchfield/Morris November 2, 2008 [Re-reading this page now in 2013, it's very Wiki-heavy. Sorry about that.] Bantam? What of this Bantam?

The Most Photographed Church in New England
... Maybe. Who Knows. First Congregational Church, Litchfield I'm not sure what more to say about this. This claim is verified on many sites...

Mattabesett Trail: Section 8
Section 8: Powerful Stuff Seven Falls (Route 154) - Brooks Road, 5.7 Miles October 7, 2008 I'm looking at this page in late 2020 and I have to apologize again for the tiny and vertical and generally poor quality of the photos. 2008 was a long time ago!

Concept of Freedom Trail: Middletown (2)

Concept of Freedom Trail: Plainville
The Freedom Trail folks updated and released a great new website in February 2011. They cleared up a bunch of confusing entries and added info where info needed to be added. But they dropped the ball here, and I don't know why. They combined this first entry (the house) and the third one (the cemetery) even … [Read more...]

The Old Cider Mill
Damian Sat Down Be-Cider and Drank The Old Cider Mill, Glastonbury October 18, 2008 I wondered whether this was a CTMQ-worthy site for a day and then hesitantly decided it was. Information on not-so-creatively named The Old Cider Mill is lacking. There's this, from the Glastonbury town website: The oldest … [Read more...]
The Southwick Jog
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.
