Everything Tolland
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” Tolland 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.

May 31, 2024 at 9:09 amIf you do a Tolland celebration meal I encourage you to check out Papa T’s over Camille’s. While unassuming from the outside (and inside) Papa T’s is a long time Tolland locals staple while Camille’s is relatively new.
