Getting to the Core of Things Memorial Town Forest Trails, Farmington February 4, 2018 I wrote this opening salvo on my Suburban Park Trails page: Farmington does this really great thing – beyond just preserving lots of greenspace. They seem to like to keep historic remnants of days gone by. You know, like the … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Thomaston
Everything Thomaston I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Thomaston CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]
Suburban Park Trails
Going Sub-Suburban Suburban Park Trails, Farmington January 28, 2018 Farmington does this really great thing – beyond just preserving lots of greenspace. They seem to like to keep historic remnants of days gone by. You know, like the creepy old zoo off of route 6. And here, at Suburban Park. I forced the … [Read more...]

Durham Historical Society Museum
Derrr, Uhhhmm Durham (Google Maps location) September 2012 CT museum visit #239. This is one of those (probably) totally (maybe) unfair "reviews" of an innocent little town history historical society museum. Note the date of my visit: 2012. So whenever you're reading this in the future, perhaps the … [Read more...]

Hill-Stead Trails
Hill-Stead, Not Hill Farmstead Hill-Stead Trails, Farmington January 21, 2018 Hill-Stead is a great museum. Top notch. One of the best.

Andrew Leete House
L337 H4x0r Andrew Leete House, Guilford September 2012 Now, normally this wouldn't rate enough for CTMQ. But - and this is a big but because I'm not totally sure of the history here - but, when this house is taken with several other sites around Connecticut, it makes sense to be here. That and I drove by once … [Read more...]
Regicide Cellar
No Cell Out Regicide Cellar, Guilford September 2012 Guilford has secrets. Of course, every town has secrets, but Guilford seems to have more than most towns. Granted, Regicide Cellar isn’t exactly a super exciting secret, but since you’re reading this, it must be at least mildly exciting to you. It’s mildly … [Read more...]
