Everything Harwinton
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” Harwinton CTMQ-style… as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ.
If I’ve missed anything in town or if anything has closed or changed, please let me know.

Harwinton Wrap-Up
I “completed” Harwinton in 2018 but new and/or previously unknown-to-me CTMQ-worthy places and things open all the time, so a town is never really “complete.” I will, of course, continue to visit and write about these new places and things.

April 24, 2018 at 8:12 amI just found your site via Connecticut Wonderful. What a great project you have undertaken! I live in Harwinton and would like to share a special spot in Roraback Wildlife Management Area with you. A couple of New Yorkers had a second home here, one of whom was an ER doc in the city. After 9/11, they undertook planting 3000 daffodils by a lake in Roraback to remember the people who were killed in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, and every year they add more. We make a pilgrimage to the spot every year (actually more than one). Right now, the daffodils are approaching flowering, though judging from my yard, they’re not quite ready yet. It’s a beautiful scene when they’re all in bloom, and a remembrance that moves me every time I see it.
